Maloti Mountains
The Maloti Mountains, also spelled Maluti ((アフリカーンス語:Malutiberge)), are a mountain range of the highlands of the Kingdom of Lesotho. They extend for about 100 km into the Free State. The Maloti Range is part of the Drakensberg system that includes ranges across large areas of South Africa.
==Physiography==
The range forms a high alpine basalt plateau up to 3400m in height. The highest point, 3482 m high Thabana Ntlenyana, is located in the north-east of the range. It is the highest peak of Southern Africa, and the highest in Africa south of the Kilimanjaro.〔(Thabana Ntlenyana (mountain, Lesotho) - Britannica Online )〕 The 3291 m high Namahadipiek, the highest mountain in the Free State, is also part of the Maloti Range. Snow and frost may be found even in summer on the highest peaks.
The sources of two of the principal rivers in South Africa, the Orange River, known as ''Senqu'' in Lesotho, and the Tugela River, are in these mountains. Tributaries of the Caledon River, known as ''Mohokare'' in Lesotho, which forms the country's western border, also rise here.
