Only one spare tyre is really restrictive Florent. We rent a 4WD with two spares - and a fridge (a real treat to have ice cold drinks after a long walk). If you'd like details, let me know.

... I see you this morning... what can I say? Splendid!! Some of my favourite plants there, superb photography too.
Ever hopeful, trying to grow plants from arid sunny climates in the UK!
Lithops, Haworthia, Adromischus, other south African succulents including Ceropegia and some Crassula.

I would literally kill for viable O.cyclophylla seeds.I have seen a nice wooly plant cultivated by a Conos expert in South England and there have been seeds on sale, time ago
I've been searching for them 2 years at least, no luck yet.
All what I got were poor, unviable ones.
