Some of the largest crocodiles in South Africa can be found in the enclosures. Informative crocodile exhibits portray the lives of these fascinating reptiles.

The nearby St Lucia Estuary is one of the tourism focal points of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, a recently declared World Heritage Site. The park comprises a number of conservation areas, the oldest of which is the St Lucia Game Reserve, established in 1895.
