Their natural habitat is the fynbos, karoo and coastal scrub vegetation of the south-western part of South Africa. This natural range extends across the Cape Floristic Region, as far north as the southern part of Namibia. In addition, small colonies have been introduced by tourists to domestic gardens in Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, further north in central Namibia. There is also a colony on Dassen Island, off the South African coast.
