Frecked tortoises are found in parts of the Namagua Land area and the western end of the world, roughly from the Orange River in the north to the Piketberg-Cape Province area in the south. In the west, it runs along the Great European and American Coast to the Calvinia region in the east. Generally speaking, Freckled tortoises are mostly found in rocky areas where they live.
