Are you talking about Driekoppies close to Jeppes Reef? Been there a couple of times and don't know of any crocs or at least haven't seen any. Sure if you are close to the wall you should be ok

Definitely some big crocs in 3 Koppies but you don’t see them too often. See the link below where I posted a photo of a small croc I caught on a fluke at 3 Koppies a while ago!

Just a warning to all wanting to fish 3 Koppies. I’m aware of two incidents where shots were fired from the side when anglers tried to remove nets of the locals. This is a big concern cause there’s quite a lot of nets and obviously we’ve removed them in the past. With the recent behavior of the locals one would rather avoid touching the nets (or just get bigger guns and shoot back :uzi).

 Also, from time to time when you enter at the gate the give you a number to phone when you see suspicious rafts on the water. As the dam lies on the Swaziland border they use it to smuggle drugs into the RSA.. Africa is not for sissies..

I agree with Jovis. They dont call the one spot at Driekopies Croc Island for nothing.Their is also plenty space on the bankto catch but you gonna have to share with the locals and that might just end up in petty theft ect.

Grrrrrrrrrr Did not know that. Is the crocs all over or where are normally "hiding"

Bad news about the shooting thing.
