Before You Die: Catch an Okavango Croc by Mark Eveleigh

There was something delightfully irresponsible about sitting in the bow of a small boat, scouting the moonlit channels for the blood-red eyes of prehistoric super-predators...and the usual Okavango safari does not often include an opportunity to wrestle a Nile crocodile. But the suspense and thrill of these activities were enhanced by the fact that, as a volunteer on an Earthwatch research expedition, I was playing an active part in the conservation of one of Africa’s most fascinating creatures.
