Before adventure though, here’s a wildlife fact. Ever heard of a Dassie? I hadn’t. This is what it looks like. It’s formal name is a Rock Hyrax.

On closer inspection a bit rodenty for my liking
It lives on Table Mountain and across Africa and the Middle East and is closely related to an elephant apparently. Go figure.
