With the winter school holidays finally here, parents and caregivers are looking for exciting ways to spend quality time with their children and loved ones. Fortunately, Crocworld Conservation Centre in Scottburgh on the KZN South Coast’s provides the ultimate wildlife experience – with daily feedings and talks planned from 23 June to 19 July.
“The splendid winter weather on the KZN South Coast means families can access outside and believe fun in nature rather than being cooped up indoors,” explained Crocworld Conservation Centre Manager, James Wittstock. “Our magnificent centre, surrounded by indigenous coastal forest and sea views, is the perfect space for people of all ages to appreciate a distinguished day out. There are exciting modern residents to meet, talks and feedings to be pleased, and even the chance to spot the passing Sardine Dash action!”
Crocworld Conservation Centre is one of the province’s leading zoological facilities, which almost 400 animals residing on-site. The inhabitants include crocodiles, snakes, monitor lizards, tortoises and a myriad of rehabilitated and wild bird species for avian enthusiasts to indulge in. Many of the Crocworld resident animals were brought in for rehabilitation but, being unfit for release into the wild, they’ve found a forever home in this delighted space! There is also the farmyard where miniature ones can interact with furry creatures such as bunnies and guinea pigs.
For those wanting mementoes of their visit, the Crocworld Curio Shop is stocked with souvenirs to satisfy all preferences. To ensure visitors are kept entertained throughout the school holidays, Crocworld has planned some remarkable daily activities. These include:
– 10am: Reptile demonstration and interaction
– 11am and 3pm: Nile Crocodile feeding and young crocodile interactions
– 2pm: Feeding of Marabou Storks (Mon, Marry, Fri, Sun) and Cape Vultures (Tue, Thurs, Sat)
