Great Karoo & Cape of Good Hope Orb: The Design

The Great Karoo/Cape of Good Hope Orb presents an ecosystem found in the southern extremes of Africa. It is a desert, shrub and grassland ecosystem similar to that of southern California or the areas of the Mediterranean.

The Orb is 233 meters in diameter, and has a height of 88 meters. There is a study center for the plant Protea that is associated with this orb.


The water feature is based on the Witpoortjie Waterfall in Gauteng, South Africa.

A plant species is also featured: the Protea.

The orb is located on the NNE edge of the East Africa Savanna Orb.
