Visit the Springtime Babies at Crocworld Conservation Centre!

Spring has arrived, bringing with it a wave of new life at Crocworld Conservation Centre in Scottburgh! The team is delighted to announce the arrival of seven new kid goats – three males and four females – who are already capturing the hearts of visitors in the popular barnyard section.

“This is a really great start to our spring season at Crocworld, and a great way for visitors to celebrate South Africa’s wildlife this September – which is both Heritage and Tourism Month,” said Busani Mthiyane, Animal Curator at Crocworld Conservation Centre. “Our baby goats are settling in well at our Barnyard section, and we encourage visitors to come out and enjoy the chance to interact with our animals while enjoying the beautiful spring weather outdoors.”

Alongside the new baby goats, the barnyard remains a favourite spot for young animal lovers who enjoy the chance to meet a variety of farmyard friends, including an emu, pig, sheep, chickens, and rabbits.

Beyond the Barnyard fun, visitors to Crocworld Conservation Centre can look forward to:

  • Daily animal interactions and fascinating feeding demonstrations.
  • Meeting iconic crocodile residents like Henry, the world’s oldest known Nile crocodile in captivity at 124 years old, as well as his long-time friend, Colgate.
  • Strolling through lush coastal forest teeming with birdlife, with more than 200 local species to spot.
  • Taking in panoramic ocean views from the award-winning Fish Eagle Café, which offers great refreshments and meals for the whole family.
  • Aerial ziplining adventure at Jikaleza Outdoor Adventures, based at Crocworld (Contact: 068 255 7200 | Jikalezatrading@gmail.com).

“Many of our visitors are delighted by the variety of animals and incredible outdoor spaces we offer at Crocworld,” added Mthiyane. “With the warmer weather, spectacular ocean views, and now a new generation of farmyard friends, spring is the perfect season to visit. Whether it’s families looking for a fun day out, tourists exploring the beautiful KZN South Coast, or schools seeking an educational and interactive outing with guided wildlife tours, crocodile feedings, and hands-on encounters, Crocworld has something special for everyone.”

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
