About the Species

The Nile crocodile is one of Africa’s most unusual trophies. While the croc appears to be lazy and lethargic as he basks on the riverbank, do not be fooled; he is a shy, wary, and extremely cautious creature. The trophy crocodile may reach a length of about 15 feet and may be as old as 75 to 100 years of age.

About the Hunt

They are extremely difficult to approach on foot to within a reasonable shooting distance. This ‘big lizard’ is extremely hard to kill quickly and cleanly. Hunting the trophy crocodile can be an exciting and rewarding experience. With a bit of planning, one can stack the odds in your favour.

Habitat

These large, predatory reptiles are found in almost all of the large rivers of Africa and can be extremely dangerous to those who venture near the riverbanks.
