'The Submarine'A renowned crocodile known as 'the Submarine', whose unchallenged domain lies at the western end of the lake near Mlibizi, regularly sneaks up and takes cows grazing unsuspectingly on the riverbank. Losing a cow is nothing to losing a family member and Kariba crocodiles have become dangerously partial to local villagers and wading fishermen. Local newspapers report missing persons on a far too regular basis. Lake Kariba is a fascinating and beautiful place but paddling is ill advised. If you happen to be boating or fishing on the lake in October and see a couple of guys walking where no sensible person should walk, or wading where only a madman would dip his big toe, you will know our Crocodile Dundee's are back. If they offer you a boat ride or a stroll along the banks, be aware that this adventure could seriously damage your health.
