Afrikanos
The African Crocodile Experience.
Afrikanos is situated within the beautiful, lush Birkenhead area just outside the world famous Gansbaai, enriched with natural greenery, fynbos, ocean and history! We are only 3.5km from Kleinbaai Harbour in Gansbaai, the Great White Shark Mecca. Come compliment your diving experience with the Sharks by experiencing the freshwater Apex predator the Nile Crocodile
Be part of this exhilarating experience where man and crocodile collide in a natural and safe swimming environment. We at Afrikanos do not stick you in a cage, but allow you to “free” dive with our crocs, while they are safely being kept on their side of the pool by a sturdy and strong first in the world stainless steel net. No cages, no restrictions!
There is tons to experience for young and old at Afrikanos! For those that do not want to get their hair wet, you can come view the crocs from a safe distance while partaking in our fun and active croc pond tour! Our very knowledgeable tour guide will take you through the enclosure where you can view the crocs in their environment at our viewing cave! If you’re running low on fuel, take a stroll up to our fully licensed family restaurant and bar and enjoy some refreshments. Bring the kids along to be a pirate on our outdoor sunken ship play park! Fun for all at Afrikanos!

Our Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I was a bit shocked when I saw how small the place was and I thought that the kids would be bored, however our guide had so much interesting information for them that they couldn't stop thanking me after for bringing them. Thank you.

What an amazing experience! Seeing these beautiful animals up front was so special. Thank you to Afrikanos and their team for making our diving experience so much fun and educational and for taking such good care of Marley and Scarface.

We loved it! We came to Africanos as a special birthday treat for our 6-year-old grandson, Jackson. He was thrilled and enjoyed every minute, especially being enamored with Scarface. Our guide (I'm sorry, his name slips my mind) gave us a warm welcome and was exceptionally knowledgeable about all the crocodiles. He kept the entire tour engaging and interesting from start to finish. Jackson and his dad will be coming back in the summer to do the dive together with the crocs. We'll all be back! We think you're doing a wonderful job keeping the croc sanctuary running. Thank you! Jackson, Frances, John, Sharon, and Dom -- the Hone family in Greyton
