We are running a project to monitor individual Leopard Tortoises on the conservancy. Although they are easily identifiable by their unique mouth and their outer shell, very little is actually known about their home range and their movements. The recent drought has meant that although the tortoises are breeding well, very few young successfully leave the nest.
Guests may well have the opportunity to help us with the monitoring project and we hope that it will allow us eventually to see how far and where they are travelling and understand more about this fascinating species.
