It's not quite as jungle-ish as I thought.. but I do see were the mist is and also how it could be overgrazed. Also the rocks beneath the soil could be exposed be erosion like it the first chapter.
I agree with the others...I didn't imagine it being so green. Now after watching that video in class today, some parts of Africa are really nice. I think you should warn students that they show animals getting shot! That was gross to watch.
It's ironic how Drakensberg is so empty population-wise, yet so beautiful, while all these African shanty-towns attract such a large amount of people though they are quite the opposite.

Oh, I liked the sheep dipping part in the video -- it's like the sport counterpart to cow tipping.
