Property description
Established and very successful Crocodile breeding, game and Eco-Tourism farm. This registered Predator Park and Crocodile Farm with more than 20 years of experience is offered for sale. Knowledge transfer by way of mentorship or shareholders agreement will be discussed. Alternatively a 50% shareholding at R24.9m can be discussed.
Commercial crocodile farming is a success story which is envied by the Rhino and Elephant fraternities. This well controlled and regulated industry has effectively acted as an insurance policy for wild crocodile populations since 1976.
Crocodile leather has for centuries been considered the finest of all leathers and the Nile crocodile (crocodylus niloticus) is the only crocodile species found in Southern Africa. Crocodile leather is consumed by a niche manufacturing market servicing many of the top international fashion labels for the production of small leather apparel such as shoes, belts, handbags, purses and wallets. SA is the 2nd largest exporter of Nile crocodile skins.
In addition to the crocodile breeding and export facilities the property also boasts a predator breeding program; reptile park; a fully licensed restaurant; curio shop; swimming pool; water slides and XCO MTB tracks. The property hosts social events such as local- and international guided tours; mini markets; XCO MTB races, night walks, music events and more. The property is in fact a very popular tourism, school and day visitor destination.
The property is fully game fenced according to Nature Conservation standards and game like Brindled Gnu (Blue Wildebeest); Kudu; Impala; Burchell’s Zebra and more is seen.
Crocodile breeding facilities consist of a hatchery with 3 incubator rooms, capacity to hatch 25 000 eggs per cycle; 3 hatchling hothouses (approx. 14 400 animals); a multi hothouse; 11 grower houses; a multitude of breeding ponds (approx. 30 000 animals); 4 large breeding dams that accommodate approximately 600 adult crocodiles and an office overlooking one of the large breeding dams.

Chickens are being fed to the crocodiles and are supplied by 5 chicken farms and the food are being processed on the farm through feed processing equipment and 7 large fridges for storage purposes.
The predator park and predator breeding program are fully licensed, and permits are in place for every species. Animals include Tiger, Leopard, yellow Crocodiles, Cayman, primates and more. The snake park also holds permits for all the different species and Anacondas.
Water to the farm is being sourced through 8 equipped boreholes into two large dams and 5 Jojo tanks. Water is then pumped to all facilities and dams through proper pipelines and the dams are drained regularly into effluent dams.
