Kopjes K opjes (pronounced as kop-eez) are essentially piles of

ancient rocks that poke through the more recent soils & surface rocks. They’re formed when softer volcanic rock and ash that comprise the soils of the Serengeti region erode to expose the underlying layer of ancient granite that forced its way upwards from below the earth’s crust during the Precambrian Era, which is at least 540 million years ago.
