I abused my moderator rights and added numbers, so that we know we are talking about the same photo.

My guesses:
TP7: Namaqualand, West of Anenous Pass?
TP8: Swartberg Pass, towards northern side?
TP9: Eastern to Northern Free state, and I would guess skaapstekers and mole snakes :)

Thanks for the numbering, should have thought of that.
Anyway, nope, but will let others have a go before revealing.

TP7 - Goegap Nature Reserve?
TP8 - Near Bettys bay?
TP9 - south Western Cape/Border of Northern Cape-W.Cape?
TP10 - Viools Drift?

TP10 - Eastern Cape near Cradock? Too much vegetation for Vioolsdrift :)

Goegap

Easy? :shock: Don't worry, revenge is sweet!

My guess is TP11 is near Simonstown (i.e. Red cliffs or Cape point possibly)?

Some more to come soon...
