I was doing a little research and struck by the similarities between various South African kopje features, especially Isandlwana, and parts of the physical geography as seen on Joerg's map. It doesn't abrogate certain examples (like the acrocorinth), but does add a few more illustrative data points.

Naturally, it thrusts up from the grassland, but if one assumes that the lower-level plateau is more extensive...
