The Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is an African crocodile, the largest freshwater predator in Africa, and may be considered the second largest extant reptile in the world, after the saltwater crocodile.
Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.

Donkerder maanden zijn het beste seizoen van elk park, wanneer dunne begroeiing of schaars water het kijken makkelijker maakt. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.

Elke boeking op Spekboom steunt natuurbehoud.
Een waarneming betekent dat een gastheer de Nile Crocodile op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Nile Crocodile at stays in or beside Phinda Private Game Reserve. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.
The Nile Crocodile is most recorded in Mpumalanga (49% of records), Limpopo (28% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (18% of records), based on 3 542 iNaturalist observations. 13 places to stay on Spekboom in KwaZulu-Natal have recorded the Nile Crocodile on site or nearby.
The Nile Crocodile is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
