The Crocodile Hunt (Seasons & Methods)

The best time to hunt Crocodile South Africa, particularly in Kruger Region, depends on personal preferences and factors such as weather, vegetation, and animal behavior. However, the dry season, typically from May to October, is often considered the prime time for Crocodile hunting. The months of January to February can have rain continuing for days on end.

During the dry season, vegetation is sparse, making it easier to spot a Crocodile sunning on the river banks. Water sources become scarce, leading animals, especially Crocodile to gather around remaining waterholes, increasing the likelihood of successful hunts. The cooler temperatures during this time also make for more comfortable hunting conditions.

The hunt will be done on foot. You and your professional game hunter will walk and stalk. Crocodiles can either be found hiding in the shallow waterways, or warming on an embankment. Once a big Crocodile has been spotted, you and the PH will decide on a plan, and it will be “game on”.

Hunters often sneak up to Crocodiles in their socks, as these amazing creatures have excellent hearing, smell and eye-site. Sneaking up to a Crocodile is not  that easy, they do not grow so big and old by being stupid!!

Crocodile shot placement is critical. The first shot has to anchor the Crocodile, else he will disappear into the murky depths, most likely gone forever.
