Crocodile Farm

Namibia


Otjiwarongo is home to Namibia’s first crocodile ranch, which produces skins for export. You can do a worthwhile tour, and there’s a shop which has mainly wooden carvings with some jewellery and metalwork, though not much in the way of croc-skin products. The restaurant has a full-blown menu for breakfast and lunch – try any number of croc delicacies, such as a croc wrap or kebabs.
