I went to Croc City which is a crocodile farm which is situated very close to the Lion Park. I think its about 2km or so away which will make a nice stop if you visiting the Lion Park.
The staff here is very nice and made my visit very enjoyable even though I was disappointed that it was nothing I expected it to be. Maybe I was expecting it to be like the Kwena Gardens at Sun City but I guess it was small and less interesting if I compared the 2 places.. Well I think its a nice place if you wanna take you kids as they have nice vacalities there for them as well like a Jumping castle and so on. They have feeding time which is at 2pm on a Saturday and Sunday which was rather interesting. The crocodiles was fed whole chickens as they have 3 enclosers and in each enclosers the size of the crocodiles varied. The 1st encloser had small crocodiles , the 2nd had meduim sized and the last was quiet big Nile Crocodiles.
You can also have your photo taken holding a baby crocodile or with some Phythons for a fee of R15.
Entrance is R40 for adults and R20 for kids.
You go check out the crocodiles on your own but I would recommend go with the guide as its free and much more interesting.
