It's a surprising sight: in the largest crocodile farm in the Mediterranean, 400 Nile crocodiles evolve in a setting that reconnects with the Saharan and African depths of the country, among papyrus, palm trees and banana trees. They laze in the sun in the ponds and the tropical greenhouse before frolicking and fighting for food. A real change of scenery.
An imposing fort evoking desert architecture marks the entrance to the wildlife park. It is to the sound of African music that we let ourselves be guided towards the pools and the tropical greenhouse where swim – or rather laze in the sun – 400 Nile crocodiles, brought from Madagascar. The Nile crocodile is one of the largest species of crocodilians, it can reach, for certain males, up to 7 meters and weigh almost a ton. Its morphology makes it one of the most formidable species.

a month agoThis was a fantastic day here, on entering it was so clean and very beautiful. There is some shops and cafes. The museum was very nice filled with history and exhibitions of all kinds of items, for people that do not understand the french language it is a little more difficult for them to translate, I did not have this problem. The 2nd part was seeing the different building that tunisian people live in and how they do the wool and weaving. There was a beautiful camel and showing how they use the camel to bring the water up from the well. The cafe before the crocodiles was were good and by the side was a little shop, just inside hanging up is a skeleton of a crocodile slight niggle this shop to me was very expensive. There was some very large tortoises, lizards and of course the magnificent crocodiles and truly they are some really massive ones. The settings for the animals was really good. They looked very contented and extremely well fed. At the end you could hold a baby crocodile I didn't do this as the queue was very big and I thought the baby crocodile might be a little stressed. Overall a very very good trip highly recommend.

2 months agoThe main focus being the crocodiles, but they do have a few other reptiles as well. For the cost I would say it's worth it, there is a ship and cafe and the park is quite large considering. You can also have the chance to see a baby croc feeding, which is great.

4 weeks agoHad a great time! But be careful that google maps does not lead you around the back down the sand path! We got stuck and couldn’t get to the crocodile farm (ended up going the next day)
