kloof

There are the sheer kloofs cut in the hills by the rushing rains of centuries, down which the rivers sparkle; there is the deepest green of the bush, growing as God planted it, and the other greens of the mealie gardens and the sugar patches, while now and again a white house, smiling out at the placid sea, puts a finish and gives an air of homeliness to the scene.

There is a kloof on the Boer's farm where mimosa-trees grow.

He takes his son on what Milla deems an "ill-considered" hiking trip of "altogether 80 kilometres over mountaintops and kloofs and through rivers" (379).

Savannah and woodland dwellers like eland, kudu, blue wildebeest, warthog, and impala also need space; however, and unlike their more northern cousins the southern greater kudu, here in South Africa's Eastern Cape, the kudu dwell in valley bushveld thickets and along densely wooded kloofs, as does the challenging bushbuck, therefore a hunter may not traverse as vast an area as he might for the true plains dwellers.

In contrast, the lack of fire or degree of rockiness or kloofs in some areas from burning in addition to regular burning of other areas contributed to the high species composition of communal land which was partially burned and ensured the presence of both fire-tolerant and fire-intolerant species.
