Otjiwarongo Crocodile Ranch. If you haven't
seen a Crocodylus niloticus for some time, then here is
your chance to refresh your memory, plus they have a restaurant here
that can serve you with a variety of dishes made from fresh Crocodile
meat. As for the live ones, well like in most other 'zoos' or even in
the wild, the adults just seem to bask in the sun and lay as still as
logs of wood - waiting for some careless being to wander their way. Time
budget 1hr

Waterberg Resort: Set at the foot of the massive and
picturesque Waterberg Plateau, this is well worth a stay-over. There are
hiking trails and plenty of wild life and birds to be seen. There are
guided game drives onto the plateau. The views are spectacular. I wasn't
impressed with the lack of variety of game that I saw up there, but I
was surprised to see so many large Sable Antelope. It's a good place to
relax and 'get away from it all'. Time budget 8hr +
