In Southern Africa seven biomes are found in total: fynbos, savannah, grassland, Nama-Karoo, succulent Karoo, desert and forest. Each of these biomes is classified according to rainfall, dominant life forms and other structural characteristics. The Kruger and Blyde Canyon showcase three of these biomes.
The escarpment consists of Afromontane grassland and forest biomes, while the Lowveld region is characterised by the savannah biome.
