Namibian Development Corporation (NDC) is investing N$100 million in crocodile farm in the Zambezi Region to capitalise on tourism and leather production. The farm is going to be established west of Kongola settlement near the Kwando and Linyanti Rivers along the Trans-Caprivi Corridor.
Up to 1000 Nile crocodiles will be kept there.
The only other crocodile farm in Nambia is Otjiwarongo Crocodile Ranch, trading in crocodile products and protecting Namibia's vulnerable Nile crocodile population. It also provides a safe venue for visitors to see, touch and even taste crocodile meat.
Otjiwarongo farm was established nearly 30 years ago to produce crocodile hatchlings for South African farmers; and to offer a different tourist attraction along the main route to and from Namibia's northern regions.
