Dive with Nile Crocodiles in the Okavango Delta.
During the month of May, the African rains fall on the Angolan highlands - causing a tremendous surge of cold, clean water that flushes through the Okavango Delta.
This influx of water is cold, ranging from 14 to 21 degrees Celsius.
Coupled with the winter season air temperatures, it creates the perfect conditions for an opportunity to dive with one of the most dangerous animals on the planet…the Nile Crocodile.
This unique combination gives us a very small window of opportunity to safely scuba dive with these ancient predators.
Join us in the Okavango Delta for a rare chance to dive with Nile Crocodiles!

Please note that these expeditions involve wild animal encounters, and while there is never any guarantee of sighting wildlife, we strategically plan our visits during the best times of the year for the greatest chances of success.
We want to highlight that touching wildlife is strictly NOT permitted.
Every encounter is unique, and the duration is solely at the discretion of the animals.
Participants caught manhandling wildlife may be asked to leave the water or the area.
It's essential to maintain a safe distance and show utmost respect towards wildlife.
We know there's never a certainty, but our host operator has had a remarkable record for Nile crocodiles on these expeditions.
PLEASE NOTE: If the animal is showing signs of stress, we will leave the animal alone and go find other wildlife to encounter.
YOUR SAFETY AND THE WELL-BEING OF THE ANIMALS ARE OUR TOP PRIORITIES.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in preserving the beauty of the wildlife and their environment.
