Crocodile Farm: Get Up Close with Reptiles Guide

The Maun Crocodile Farm offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of these ancient reptiles. It's a great stop for families and anyone interested in learning more about crocodiles and their role in the ecosystem. See crocodiles of all sizes, from hatchlings to massive adults, and learn about their life cycle, behavior, and conservation. While not a historical site, the Crocodile Farm plays an important role in conservation efforts. Crocodile populations have been threatened by habitat loss and hunting. Farms like this contribute to conservation by breeding crocodiles and educating the public about their importance. They also provide a safe haven for crocodiles that may have been injured or displaced. At the Crocodile Farm, you can observe crocodiles in their enclosures, learn about their biology from informative displays, and even witness feeding time (check the schedule upon arrival). The farm also often has other reptiles and animals on display. It's a great opportunity to take photos and learn about these fascinating creatures. While there isn't a specific culinary tradition associated with the farm itself, you can find restaurants in Maun that serve local Botswana cuisine.
