Croc & Snake Experience
Since a teen, Zululand-born Karl-Heinz Booysen has been fascinated with crocodiles, so much so that today his nickname is “Crocodile Impi”. Known to have wrestled 4m-long crocs in transporting them to his domain, Karl-Heinz’s crocodile nursery is located at Falaza Game Park - False Bay on the far-northern banks of Lake St. Lucia World Heritage Site and it is here that he introduces guests to the world of the Nile Crocodile … which incidentally loves a stomach rub.
