Riverbend Crocodile Farm 4.61

What was at first considered a crazy idea soon turned into a reality as the late Corky Kelly constructed Riverbend Crocodile Farm in Southbroom on the South Coast of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
The farm was officially opened on the 24th November 1981 and having celebrated its 30th Birthday in 2011 the farm has grown and has now hosted more than 2 million visitors establishing itself as one of KwaZulu Natal’s major tourist attractions.

While the initial nile crocodiles were obtained from Zimbabwe additional nile crocodiles from Namibia, South Africa and now home bred crocodiles form the nucleus of one of the most successful crocodile breeding basks in South Africa. Riverbend Crocodile Farm owned by the Kelly family has been managed by Howard Kelly the eldest son of the late Corky Kelly since 1989.
