Location: Situated close to the village of St Lucia in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province,
the St Lucia Crocodile Centre offers visitors the opportunity of seeing all the African species of
crocodile - the Nile, Long-snouted and Dwarf crocodile. Some of the largest crocodiles in South Africa can
be found in the enclosures. Informative crocodile exhibits portray the lives of these fascinating reptiles.
The nearby St Lucia Estuary is one of the tourism focal points of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park,
a recently declared World Heritage Site. The park comprises a number of conservation areas,
the oldest of which is the St Lucia Game Reserve, established in 1895.
