My partner and I went for a few hours on a Monday afternoon and this place is great. At just R95 per adult it’s great value for money. Suitable for families with kids and couples, there are thousands of crocs as well as some snakes and smalller reptiles, with the opportunity to hold or touch some under supervision. The head tour guide, who has been there for over 35 years is fantastic, he shows such passion and has superb knowledge about the animals at Crocodile Creek and is very entertaining and welcoming also. There is a small shop for souvenirs and space to take a picnic and a small kids zone where you can play with sole bunny rabbits or guinea-pigs. Ideal for an afternoon treat, where we spent almost 3 hours walking round!

Well worth a visit. A huge range of wild animals. Lions, tigers, the unique liger and many other. Rare birds as well. This has taken a huge effort and deserves support.
