In a While Crocodile
Lake Kariba is home to a healthy population of the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus Niloticus). The name is derived from the Greek word krokodeilos which means “pebble worm”, referring to the appearance of the crocodile. In full, “the pebble worm of the Nile”. An apex African predator and fearsome reptile, its menacing reputation precedes its presence.
