The Upper Karoo Group is a sequence of Triassic sedimentary and volcanic rocks found in Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
It comprises the Escarpment Grit formation (in the Mid-Zambezi and Limpopo basins) and the Angwa Sandstone Formation (in the Mana Pools and Cabora Bassa Basins), overlain by the Pebbly Arkose Formation and the Forest Sandstone Formation, capped by Batoka Formation basalts.
