The full festive season programme at Crocworld Conservation Centre attracted a large number of visitors to this Scottburgh-based centre. December got underway with the Crocworld Raffle, with the lucky winner of the incredible kids\u2019 activity hamper prize, valued at R1 000, announced as Jackie Smit from Gauteng.<\/p>\n
This formed part of the 124th birthday celebrations for the centre\u2019s celebrity; Henry the Nile crocodile, believed to be the oldest known Nile crocodile in captivity in the world. On his 16 December birthday, visitors enjoyed cupcakes from Crocworld while Henry\u2019s best friend, Colgate \u2013 the second oldest and biggest croc in the park \u2013 lay alongside. Visitors also enjoyed the rest of the Crocworld holiday programme, including feeds and demonstrations, Crocworld Carols by Candlelight Day and Night Market, after-dark Jikaleza Outdoor Adventures ziplining, and the release of The WildED Crocworld Activity Book designed by South African children\u2019s conservation book author, Kayleigh Huysamen from Wild Kids Books SA.<\/p>\n
In preparation for the festive rush, Crocworld had several revamps, including the repainting of the iconic Crocworld sign from the N2; and revarnishing the wraparound deck at the popular Fish Eagle Caf\u00e9; with new umbrellas providing necessary shade on those sunny summer days. The fun doesn\u2019t stop here, there\u2019s lots more in store for Crocworld in 2025!<\/p>\n
