A British tourist thought she was getting “scammed” when a tour guide from a famous Aussie national park told the group they can’t exit the vehicle because of crocodiles. Millie Mclay, a travel influencer who boasts 1.3 million TikTok followers, shared a clip detailing her experience on a $300 day tour of Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. She explained she was shocked to hear customers weren’t allowed to leave the guide’s vehicle due to it being the wet season. “The first thing we saw was the Fogg Dam Reserve but, because it’s wet season, we weren’t allowed to get out of the vehicle,” Ms Mclay said.“I thought, ‘Is this a scam?’. It’s advertised that you can walk around.“Somebody asked why we’re not allowed and it’s because there are (thousands) of saltwater crocodiles that kill people in this area.”She added they “could literally be in the puddles and you wouldn’t be able to see them”. As she approached a puddle while filming the clip, she quickly pulled away after remembering, “they did say to stay five metres away from all water sources, at all times.” “They don’t make any ripples in the water as they move so you would not even know one was stalking you or about to attack you. “The only moment you would know is when it goes for you, and then it’s too late.“So, I think it’s kind of fair enough they don’t let you out of the van.”According to the Kakadu National Park’s official website, there are around 10,000 crocodiles in Kakadu, making up 10 per cent of all the crocs in the Northern Territory.There are two types – freshwater crocs and the ‘salties’ (saltwater crocodiles).Freshwater crocs have a narrow snout and a single row of four large scutes (bony plates) right behind their head. Salties have a broader snout and no scutes.Both species can live for more than 50 years.“The dry season is the best time to see crocs as shrinking water bodies force them to concentrate in smaller areas,” the site states.“Remember that wherever there is water, there might be crocodiles,” it warns.“Be careful near rivers and billabongs and pay attention to croc warning signs.”Meanwhile, the NT Government advises tourists keen to see saltwater crocs to consider going on a tour or visiting the state’s wildlife parks.It also reminded tourists not to be fooled by the animal’s name “Don’t be fooled by the name – saltwater crocodiles may be found over 200km from the coast, inhabiting fresh or salt water,” the NT Government warned.“This is particularly so during heavy rain periods when rivers rise creating easy passage for crocodiles. “Crocodiles can travel up to a kilometre on land, remain concealed for long periods inland, stay submerged without moving during a hunt, and run incredibly fast. “Just because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean they’re not there.”
