What is Livingstone Crocodile Park?
Livingstone Crocodile Park (also known as Livingstone Reptile Park) offers an immersive encounter with some of Africa’s most fascinating reptiles. It houses rescued Nile crocodiles (including some of the largest specimens from the Zambezi), snakes, tortoises and chameleons. During hatching season, visitors have the unique opportunity to hold a baby crocodile. The guided tour lasts about an hour and is described as fun for the whole family, with reviews specifically noting that four kids absolutely loved it. The park is located about 5 km from Victoria Falls on Mosi-oa-Tunya Road.
