See the crocodiles at Mamba Village to have an exciting excursion that brings you closer to these fascinating beasts. Crocodiles are among the most interesting creatures to have ever inhabited the earth. It is believed that crocodiles have altered little since prehistoric days (with more than 400 million years on earth), with an ancient lineage that has been passed on from croc to croc for many generations. Among their skills are their supreme hunting abilities – crocodiles are the silent ambush hunters of the murky green waters of the lakes of Kenya – they glide through the waters with their periscope, bubble-like eyes towards the waters edge, patiently awaiting their chance and then...Zap! These ancient dinosaur-like creatures of the lake have their prey - usually, in Kenya, buffaloes, or any other of the plain animals ranging from wild pigs to antelopes.

See the crocodiles at Mamba Village to experience the thrill of being close up to these ancient creatures – it is a surreal experience to see these unmoving creatures with their jaws wide open. These jaws, you will be interested to learn, forge pressure of up to 40,000 kilograms per square inch, enough to crush your bones in an instant. See the crocodiles at Mamba Village and you will have the experience of seeing all ages of crocs, including the tiny little hatchlings to the five meter-long daddy croc.

You might be tempted to eat at the sumptuous Mamba Restaurant; however, you should be forewarned: their delicacy is superbly grilled crocodile meat! Souvenirs of your interesting visit can be obtained from the curio shop on your way out. With over 10,000 crocodiles lazing about, feeding or sun-basking, you will have ample opportunity to discover that crocs do not lie with their jaws wide open to attract an unsuspecting bird for a light snack, but in fact they are allowing these Plover birds to give them a good tooth-brushing.
