Day 10 - Croc Cage Diving at the Cango Wildlife Ranch
Channel: South Africa Daily Update
Date: 2023-06-01

During April, I visited the Cango wildlife ranch in Oudtshoorn, South Africa. During the tour through the ranch, we passed the crocodiles, and at that moment, someone was taking part in the famous croc cage dive. I stopped and stayed behind to get it on video. In this video, you will see what doing a croc cage dive is like. I later heard that crocodile-cage diving was pioneered at Cango Wildlife Ranch. The guests that signed up for this were dropped in a cage into a pool of two crocodiles that are average 4 metres in length. The dive duration was roughly around 10 minutes or so, but I think this depends on how willing the crocodiles are to participate. In this video, I captured you can watch as two crocodiles swim up to the cage for a treat and a quick photo, then swim away to bask in the sun. It was a cloudy day, so the crocodiles tend to eat less on cold days and therefore quickly returned to bask in the sun.
