Family Achatinidae
I have never seen a snail with black skin before so this was unusual for me.
Dai Herbert says that this is a juvenile and it will get paler as it grows older.
These are the largest of our snails and can reach 16cm in shell length.

They have a wide distribution both on the Natal coast and inland.
