Croc going rate

[RockSlinger404]

Hi Everyone,

As per the heading, what is the 'going rate' on a 15ft croc in SA?

Might not find a 15 footer in RSA. Probably gonna need to go to Moz or Zambia. Saw a hunt for one in Namibia for that size and it was expensive. $17 K if I remember correctly. I thought that rather expensive. It was the Caprivi tho….I’ve others as cheap as $7 K. For that price you’re probably looking at a 13 footer….
You might find something different for less.

@Mbalabala Safaris can take care of you on this and are always fairly priced.

You may also want to check with @KWALATA SAFARIS , who operate in both SA and Mozambique.
A 15 footer is a fairly high bar just about anywhere I believe.

I say tell as many SA outfitters as possible, they will "find" one for you. I would be doubtful that an outfitter outside SA would say a 15 ft is available. Maybe a possible in some very good areas but not many that size shot annually. May take a long time and a few born wild hunts to find a croc that big.

I do have an acquaintance who took a 14 and another over 15 in SA, so I know they are available, money is not an object for him so I do not ask price questions. They were not born where they were shot is all I will say.

I have only been one place where I would be confident in an opportunity at a croc of that size, the upper Luangwa river in Zambia.

I'd bet it is not very likely they are going to sell a breeder.

it is wise when hunting free roaming crocs to add a hippo. You are going to need a lot of bait.
Our combined Hippo Croc Hunts is $11,200.00. All inclusive
