Henry\u2019s birthday is just one of the fun summer holiday activities planned for Crocworld this festive season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this being the first summer holiday without travel restrictions, we\u2019re looking forward to sharing our fantastic wildlife friends with new and returning visitors,\u201d said Crocworld Conservation Centre Manager, James Wittstock. \u201cThere\u2019s something for everyone to enjoy at the centre, from petting barnyard animals and learning more about our snakes and crocodiles, to relaxing with a great meal and sea views at the Fish Eagle Caf\u00e9!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grab a cupcake with Henry<\/p>\n<p>Henry has come a long way since his birth on the Okavango Delta in Botswana \u2013 back in 1900! The oldest known Nile crocodile in captivity worldwide, Henry has taken to his life of leisure, having retired to Crocworld Conservation Centre back in 1985. To celebrate a life well-lived, the centre throws Henry a birthday party every year \u2013 and this is no different. Visitors to Crocworld on Friday, 16 December, will get the chance to enjoy a free cupcake and watch as Henry enjoys his own birthday treat.<\/p>\n<p>Summer holiday fun<\/p>\n<p>Summertime on the KZN South Coast means sunny skies and Crocworld fun as the holiday programme gets underway.

This five-day holiday camp, suited to ages 8 to 13 years, gives children the chance to enjoy animal interactions, adventure games, alternative sports, arts &amp; crafts, as well as after-dark adventures such as Survivor, frogging and a bonfire.<\/p>\n<p>During these five days, they will learn how to SUP and kayak safely on the beautiful Black Rock Estuary as well as surf at one of the best and safest KZN beaches. They will hike and explore coastal forests, savannahs and beaches, all the while learning valuable basic survival skills. There is also an Adventure Race planned which combines all the knowledge and skills learned into an epic team competition.<\/p>\n<p>Conservation and nature are at the heart of the WildED Holiday Camp which is why all camp attendees will be immersed in Crocworld\u2019s daily conservation activities such as looking after the birds, mammals and non-dangerous reptiles. There will also be a clean-up restoring local ecosystems while experiencing the incredible local habitats including forests, mangroves, savannah, rocky shores and beaches.<\/p>\n<p>Ticket prices for WildED Holiday Camp:<br \/>R1 750 for all 5 days<br \/>R380 per day<br \/>R180 for the Park after Dark<\/p>\n<p>This includes entry to Crocworld Conservation Centre; all activities; specialist equipment and animal encounters.<\/p>\n<p>This excludes transport; lunch and snacks (specials being held at Fish Eagle Caf\u00e9); and medical insurance.
