Known to have wrestled 4m-long crocs in transporting them to his domain, Karl-Heinz’s crocodile nursery is located at Falaza Game Park - False Bay on the far-northern banks of Lake St. Lucia World Heritage Site and it is here that he introduces guests to the world of the Nile Crocodile.

What to pack

During summer, light weight comfortable clothing is recommended. If you are going on safari, make sure you pack a warm jacket for the evenings, as it can get quite chilly on the back of an open vehicle when the sun sets, even in the summer months. Comfortable walking shoes arealso advisable.

The idea at game reserves is to relax and enjoy your time under the African sky, and listen to the call of the wild all around you! Dinner dress is therefore casual and comfortable.

Don't forget to bring along your camera. A pair of binoculars will also come in handy on game drives and for spotting game from your lodge.
