Tortoise is a symbol of wisdom, creation, steadfastness and tranquility.  It is also a powerful totem for protection, as withdrawing into its shell is an amazing self-defense mechanism.  Due to its long lifespan, it represents longevity and stability.  In African fairy tales, the tortoise is the most clever animal.
