2 months agoThis post makes me envious. Rachael and I were well into planning a tour of SA about a decade ago, and the plan included this pass. It won’t happen for us now, but we’ll enjoy following along.

2 months agoThanks for the comment. We actually hadn't looked it up. Looking at your link and through a neat little resource at the guest house we are staying we think it might be an Angulated tortoise. Easier to see in our other photos we didn't post.
I really hope we get to see a Leopard Tortoise though.
