Which river is known as the Crocodile River in South Africa?

The Limpopo River is known as the Crocodile River in South Africa. This name likely derives from the presence of crocodiles in the river, which is a habitat for these reptiles. The Limpopo is significant in both cultural and ecological contexts, forming part of the boundary between South Africa and neighboring countries, and supporting diverse wildlife and plant species within its basin.

In contrast, the Niger, Zambezi, and Congo rivers are prominent in other regions of Africa. The Niger flows through West Africa, the Zambezi is known for Victoria Falls and its flow through southern Africa, and the Congo is the second-largest river in Africa by discharge volume, primarily located in Central Africa. Each of these rivers has its own unique geographical and cultural significance, but none are associated with the Crocodile River moniker in South Africa.
