The Crocodile Park finally opened to the public in September 1997. Today the park is home to more than 300 crocs, including the massive Giant of the Nile, 'Big Nose' who is a pensionable seventy years old and measures nearly 5 metres in length. As a contrast, is the park's 'nursery'. The breeding programme is very successful here with each female laying between 30-50 eggs. When I visited there were approximately 150 baby crocs here.
Visitors can choose to take a tour or wander around the park independently.
There is also a museum where you can swot up on croc facts. For example, it's no coincidence that these creatures look so prehistoric, they have been around some 200 million years and have hardly changed at all. As for the crocodiles themselves, well, don't expect them to do any tricks. In fact, don't expect them to do much at all - unless you are fortunate enough to be around at feeding time. They are singularly inanimate creatures, which, as they can apparently slow their breath down to just three breaths a minute, is hardly surprising.
