Alligator and Crocodile Hunts

Alligator and crocodile hunting can be an exciting and sometimes dangerous hunting adventure!

Alligators and crocodiles are one of the oldest creatures on this planet - they evolved as far back as 60 million years ago, and the fossils of their immediate ancestors date back to 220,000,000 b.c. Wonderfully adapted to their environment, these ancient reptiles perform an essential ecological function.

The Nile crocodile occupies the Nile River basin in Northern Africa and extends throughout equatorial Africa southward into northern South Africa and Mozambique. Crocodiles grow up to 18 feet in length and may weigh in at over 1,000 pounds. Specimens have been taken in excess of 20 feet in length. A true trophy monster croc in today’s Africa is any crocodile that is over 15 feet in length.

In the old days, crocodile hunts in Africa were done while hunting other species. Today, they are still added to the bag while on safari for other species, but in modern Africa it is becoming more common to take a specialized hunting safari targeting trophy crocodile and hippo combined. Taking a trophy crocodile can be pure luck, but typically it requires a dedicated crocodile hunt where the day’s primary activities are centered upon baiting and / or spotting a large crocodile and then trying to get within range for a lethal shot.

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
