The Crocodile Farm Otjiwarongo combines a distinctive founding story with guided tours: it was established in 1985 with a breeding herd of 60 adult Nile crocodiles. It also has a children's playground; the Museum of Namibian Fashion offers a different focus. In the surrounding area of Otjiwarongo, activities offered by the Cheetah Conservation Fund add a perspective on cheetahs and conservation work. This lets you consider crocodile tours, fashion artifacts, and cheetah conservation as distinct areas of interest.
Crocodile Tours and Playground
The farm's guided crocodile tours last around 20 to 30 minutes and take place daily. Visitors of all ages, including minors, can take part. The duration makes the tour a compact activity; it refers to the tour itself and does not necessarily represent a full visit to the farm. The founding year and original herd are part of its history, while the tour duration indicates how long the guided experience takes.
The children's playground has swings, climbing frames, an old Volkswagen Kombi, a dollhouse, and a seesaw. Alongside the play equipment, it also features specific play objects. The farm is therefore described not only by its crocodile tour but also by its dedicated play area.
Fashion from Different Eras
The Museum of Namibian Fashion displays fashion artifacts from Namibia's past, present, and future. Its time span therefore extends beyond a single era. Those interested in cultural topics will find a different perspective here from the animal-related activities: the focus is on fashion artifacts and their connection to different perspectives on Namibia across time.
Cheetahs and Conservation Work in the Surrounding Area
In the surrounding area of Otjiwarongo, the exhibitions at the Cheetah Museum and the Cheetah Conservation Fund's education center cover cheetah history and physiology, their importance in the ecosystem, conflicts with people, and the CCF's conservation work. The topics range from the individual animal to its ecological role and the relationship between people and cheetahs.
Activities for visitors at the Cheetah Conservation Fund also offer different experiences: visitors can observe cheetah ambassadors at the Cheetah Run and livestock guardian dogs at the Model Farm. If you are planning a visit there, it is advisable to confirm arrangements with the CCF in advance.
