FACTS ABOUT CROCODILE BREEDING HABITS

It takes around 10 years for crocodiles to reach sexual maturity.
Females lay their eggs about 2 months after mating.

POISONOUS SNAKES IN SOUTH AFRICA

The farm consists of Nile Crocodilians, Tortoises and various snakes. All these animals play an important role in the economy of South Africa. Mole-snakes, Brown House Snakes, Phytons, Mozambique spitting cobras and other species of snakes prey on rodents which plaque man and destroy crops. Smaller snake species like the Worm- and Blind-snakes and Slug and Centipede-eaters all account for large numbers of insects and other invertebrates.

 
VISION
Our mission and vision for this farm is to enlarge the crocodile housing in captivity with the raising hatchlings. Create a wonderful touch of heaven on earth with the preaceful, interesting and tranquil environment, for our locals and international tourism. We aim to use our local artist's to enhance their talent to empower the local community artwork for tourism.

Small Castle For Romance

Do you want to put the spark back into your marriage on the most romantic way possible? Hire a castle! The French call it the "Petit Chateau", and that is exactly what this hidden jewel is about for Mariaan and Karl Menge. It is situated only 7km outside Marble Hall in the Limpopo Province. Don't expect too much luxury though as this place is designed to bring you closer to nature on more than just one way.

The luxury is rather found in popping a bottle of shampaigne in a jacuzzi on the 3rd floor, looking over a majectic landscape. You have to remember there are no electricity and no jets to massage your body, but that function is rather left to you and your partner's imagination.

On the second floor is a bedroom with a breathtaking view over the valley below. Beautiful purpel red linnen is draped over the bed, making the romance so much more special. Relaxing in the bathtub with the world at your feet will be another favourite past time. There is even a telescope with which you and your partner can look at the stars in total amazement.

Bedroom in Castle

Imagine having no television, no children and no neighbours to interrupt your once in a lifetime opportunity to put that spark back into your love life. On the 3rd floor there is a place for you to have a barbeque while watching the majestic African sun go down over the valley. Remember the first time when you looked into your partner's eyes? Remember the first electrical touch and the butterflies? This will bring that all back into your life. Come and discover your partner all over again.

Petit Chatau is situated on a 30ha bushveld farm. It is for those who adores nature and like watching birds as well as for those who just need a romantic getaway.

It is R800 for the Castle per night. Be warned though that the steep road to the castle is not meant for low expensive vehicles. Mariaan and Karl will however be able to take those up to the castle who doesn't have a suitable vehicle. There are suitable parking available at the foot of the mountain where the Reptile Sanctuary is situated.

 
 
We are Licenced
The Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism have permitted this farm with Nile crocodiles. The farm is situated 7km outside a small town called Marble Hall in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. We bought the farm during 2007 and developed it into a magnificent tourism attraction with reptiles in captivity.
