👍👍 Wow, what an amazing place! Samuel was such a friendly host. He showed us around and was able to answer all questions directed to him. Samuel is such a knowledgeable guide. He even knows the crocs by names. We really enjoyed the part when he fed crocodiles with chickens and they fought over that.... People often mention tour, great, crocodile, experience, guide,

    Without a doubt one of the coolest experiences I've had in my whole life! The staff here are knowledgeable and make sure you have an excellent educational, and may I add affordable, tour. Do opt for feeding a croc (ask for Brutus) at a few extra bucks and make sure you buy some quirky gifts at their curo shop! Will definitely recommend.

    Had a wonderful time visiting the Crocodile Ranch. Guide was very insightful and answered all questions, had a good sense of humour and was great with the kids remembering them by their names throughout the tour. Would highly recommend that you visit when in the area

    It is very epic place to visit and so much to learn from there. The tour guide tells you all about crocodile's and your are allowed touch a crocodile and you get a tour around the crocodile farm. They have a shop also where you can purchase so many things made from Crocodile skin.it is a great place and learning experience.

    We visited this place today (31/12/2023). I would give the place a 5 star rating but I think the gentleman receiving payments can still improve on showing warmth when welcoming visitors. On the other hand, our guide Sam, made the whole visit a pleasant, enjoyable and informative experience. The kids loved his demonstrations when sharing information about crocodiles. The kids also got an opportunity to feed the crocodiles and they loved the experience. We also learnt a lot as adults.

  • 4/5 Tsemach P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very big and well kept croc farm. Large number of crocs to see. The educational tour is interesting and the feeding was a great supplement to our interest. The downside: It's overpriced for a tour the lasts aprox 45 or less.

  • 3/5 Masha G. 9 months ago on Google
    It's a crocodile farm (for leather and meat). You can get a tour around the farm to see the elder crocs they breed with, and also some youngsters a couple of years from harvest. It's informational about the species and how they breed/live, but at the same time you realise these are captive animals used for people's vanity pleasure, which is sad.

    Amazing croc experience. Kids were fascinated by the feeding and also fed chicken to the crocs.

    The tour guy was really great and good at giving the information and answering all questions while demonstrating, at some point I thought he is a crocodile 😜. What I was impressed at was to meet one of my former student, Suzan. Thank you Agatha for everything and see you again soon ❤️

👍👍 The road to these falls is a bit treacherous but it is worth the effort. The falls are impressive and there is a big, well maintained picnic area with ablution facilities. The entrance fee is R35 per person, but it is worth it.

👍 1. Don't recommend the longer route if you're allergic to bees. 2. It may be worth it anyway if you're prepared to run. The hike over the hilly grasslands surrounding the town was stunning, with a plethora of diverse flora, insects and birds. We took the yellow (10km) route which winds through some...
