A very special natural setting for a scenic excursion. Enhanced by the time of day (lighting).

Have most of SA covered with Orthos.  A wonderful place.

R u using the viewfinders DEM or some other ?.  

 AW3d DEM looks amazing , i would suggest also do the Graskop area which should be  -25+29 / 30 / 31 and the Lesotho range along with Durban.

Thanks Zulfiqar. No I don't use viewfinder DEM yet. Right now I'm in the process of downloading the area around the Drakensberge/Lesotho, the Graskop area will be next, many thanks for pointing it out to me. 😉 I will also try the Victoria Falls at the Simbabwe-Botswana border

I suggest using the Aw3d dem because it's very good for mountains. 

Lesotho is fantastic

Have Victoria falls too but only one tile 18 26
