Crocodile charge on the White Nile River in Uganda
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2020
- I had just run this beautiful juicy massive stout of a rapid called Supernova and was paddling downstream to meet the raft and Adriene Levknetch, the other kayaker on the trip. I saw Adriene sprint towards the raft and started to do the same.
Many teams have run this section of the White Nile, the Murchison section, without a raft. It has the highest concentration of hippos and crocs on the Nile maybe the planet, often problem crocodiles are captured and released into the section.
When the hippos or crocs charge getting pulled into a raft and consolidating as a one big unit wards off the beasts and makes the trip overall much safer. When you are a group of kayakers all you can do is sprint and try to get into a big rapid before the croc catches up.
I looked over my shoulder and saw the croc, I saw its head lift as it accelerated through the water towards me. I knew I was close enough to the raft and far enough from the croc to be in serious danger so I just looked forward and was pulled in with plenty of time, I turned on my GoPro...
We spent more time in the raft after this and my desire to return to run the entire section in one day disappeared.
A similar tour group kayaking down the Congo river some years back witnessed a massive Nile croc snatch their guide from his kayak, and take him into the murky depths never to be seen in whole or part again. Those beasts can reach an easy five feet out of the water, which is more than adequate to pluck a tasty kayaker out of his boat without touching the craft. Nile crocs are the ultimate stealth hunter, surpassed only by the fabled Australian Saltie for bulk and speed. You guys tangled with a juvenile in this clip.
Had an opportunity to visit a crocodile area up in the North of Australia.
Boat ride through the swamp, croc came up to the boat and eyed me like what's for dinner.
I still believe that monster could have easily gotten over the barrier on the boat if it tried hard enough.
Wouldn't take that chance again for all the money in the world.
Agreed, I saw the documentary. Its just a matter of time for a larger croc to pick out the next Kayaker. This guy wouldn't have stood a chance against an 18 footer.

I remember that case at Congo.Thats exactly what it passed through my mind when i was watching this video.
@@unclexeres that dinner part 😂😂😂😂😂
Fortunately I was taking a shit when I watched this, which helped simulate what would have happened in real life
Lmao
😂😂😂
I had to laugh at that one. 🤣
I also got the shit scared of me while sitting on the pot watching this.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why in the hell would anyone want to risk themselves and others on the Nile river in such tiny boats..
Idiots my friend,and they attacking crocodile on his place...
Whypipo
@@Kalagenesis Keffers don't know what it's like to challenge themselves, thats why they haven't built anything other than stickhuts and shufflin n jivin. Whypipo dun go make it to da moon cause dey aint dun be afray of no nothin cuh, sheeeeit.
Looks like they were in inflatable boat. Id take a tiny non inflatable boat any day 😂
Quick answer, for money
Not trying to be mean, but what were their expectations of canoeing down the Nile lol?
Same. And they’re beating a croc in HIS habitat. They’re the intruders.
Good job they had head protection on.🤣
Stupidity at its finest.
The thrill of not becoming croc or hippo shit
Why don't they just bring guns and blast em all to hello?
OK, I've just removed the Nile rafting from my bucket list.
Me to & any other river with feature creatures lurking in it .
Put it last on your list instead
@@webby6944 This... this makes me smile.
Don't forget about the Hippos.
Yep, just did too.
I went to Bruce Belchers Croc Lake on the East Coast of Australia in 2001 and I'll never forget his words on the boat. "What's in the boat is yours, anything outside of the boat is his." He hung meat out on sticks and rope and I have photos of a 15 foot salty jumping vertically about 2 metres out of the water to get the meat! I would never ever take a chance or disrespect one of these creatures, seeing them in real life is a huge privilege and terrifying experience in equal measure.
feeding the crocs is a bad idea... that man was not doing good.
it must be insane seeing them in real life, they look literally like dinosaurs.
Idiots to kayak around crocodiles.
Dude I agree! When I saw the boat he was in at the end of the video, I was shocked. I'm surprised people actually do these things.
Dummies in the wrong neighborhood and blame the residents. Lol
@@iawsom Kayak around crocs = resident
Agree 100%
idk....feels kinda silly to take your rinky dink kayaks into croc infested water. I dont want people to get hurt but the danger seems too obvious. BUUUUT.....if you know the risks and are willing to get eaten by a croc and die a horrible death doing what you love then I applaud you I guess.
I never get why people do stuff like that. If I see a sign or know that a big animal is in that area, I’m not going.
Ig people love the thrill of dying
Come live in Africa with us for a while - we fear nothing. The most dangerous animal - anywhere in the world - is man!
The croc or hippo gets us, lions and black mambas too, but still the two legged mammal is BOSS!
They are there for the whitewater and they are on an oar frame raft
@@benjaminfranklyn9292 jump in. I’ll watch. Lol
I want to see these guys hiking in Grizzly bear territory with fly swatters, would be a good video 👍
They might pull it off.
That’s funny B-man
@@CharlesBronson-xi3de they just might.
Judging by their accent, they are South Africans and possibly highly skilled at bush craft and survival. I doubt that they are novices, however the Nile crocodile, lion, wild dogs, hyenas, leopards, black mambas, cape cobras are all formidable animals here in Southern Africa.
Grizzly bears, we have none here and that would really be a good challenge. All due respect to the Grizzly, I think it would fit in well, minus the climate here. The bush heat is insane!
they would wack the grizzly with a paddle to assert dominance
LOL!
Why would anybody want to kayak in crocodile infested waters ? That's just asking for it. 😳
Because "BIGGEST WHITEWATER RAPIDS ANYWHERE, YEAH, BABY!" (not my personal view, but it seems to be theirs) Also, maybe some of them secretly want to face down a crocodile in his own environment.
This is about as smart as laying down on I10 during rush hour. They’re actually begging to be a mid day snack!🤔🤦🏼
Paddling in Costa Rica a few years back, we stopped to get a look at the Very Large Crocs that hang out under a highway bridge on the river we were about to paddle. I could not believe the size of these animals - from 10 to 18 feet long (5+ meters). The guide told us the Crocs could not get up to the part of the river we were going to paddle due to the rapids and they like to stay near the mouth where it drains into the ocean. I was not convinced and I stayed away from calm eddies and slack-water areas for that entire trip.
Good move.
They hang out by the bridge as rebels used to throw people over it during the war in the '90s.
I respect you hugely for that..
and those are American crocs, which are basically puppies compared to nile crocs and salties.
@@Guild176 Right, the Niles are much bigger. But at 16 feet and several hundred Lbs. the American Crocks are plenty scary.
You guys should do a nighttime version of this
Ah, yes, another beautiful episode in the "Why Women Live Longer Than Men" series.
I once had a Beaver (yes, I mean the animal - very large rodent that chews down trees) climb onto my kayak while surfing a wave/hole. Yeah, I'm sure there's a ton of jokes that can be made here; but it was pissed-off and scared the shit out of me. I can't even imagine a Mo-Effing Crocodile or a Hippo.
I mean if you are surfing somewhere with crocs or hippos you’re doing something wrong.
@@glitch612 Well, surfing in the ocean means surfing with sharks.
@@MTB_Rider_96 honestly you can’t even compare sharks to hippos or crocs, sharks are way less dangerous. each year there are 100x as many deaths caused by crocs or hippos then there are sharks.
@@glitch612 Very true indeed! I'm a SCUBA diver and a former surfer - mostly in Hawaii, and the sharks we see ignore us 100% of the time. But Hippos & crocks are scary as hell.
A beaver can kill you. One bite in the leg could sever an artery and you’d bleed out. Those things are no joke. They don’t look mean until you tick one off...
Guys in a larger boat attempting to kill a crocodile attempting to kill all of them. So the logical next step would be to get into a smaller boat by yourself
Get AK-47 and start blasting !!!!!
Ahhh nothing like a nice relaxing day on the river!!!
Come get your paddle tough guy - Croc
Their ignorance knows no bounds
Why city people wanna go kayaking in a river invested with crocodile. ?
They are out to prove they are very brave.
BENN,
Why would I watch this over and over? See reason I watch Jaws before swimming in the ocean. Great stuff

'Larry...what's that old saying about being up the river without...a paddle...is that a friggin' Crocodile that just snatched...uh, oh...Larry?'
Kayaker: ayee, fawk you
Croc: I hope yous have a bigger boat next time
Kayaking down the Nile splashing the water in croc invested waters.
Priceless. 🤪
high fives all around, we've defeated the croc..... only you haven't, and you're still in croc waters and nothing has changed.... lmao chomp
that boat could of easily flipped or the croc could of hit the boat to have it flipped who also is going to swim to get that paddle they dropped? lol
There are plenty more close by that they can’t see.
i mean...they fended off the croc and got into quick moving rapids where crocs are unlikely to go, compared to falling in and getting eaten i'd say that's worthy of high fives
whats the idea of practicing this kind of activities when the risk is huge, if you fall into the water you are gone, so why is it even allowed ?
@Rogelio Castro, this is a good question but I guess the answer is best understood if you live in Africa. The beauty is enchanting, it stirs up the spirit of adventure - even though T Trex's cousin lives in the water...I know it sounds crazy, but it is just this way....I would be afraid to enter the Amazon river because of the Anaconda snakes, but people do this all the time...its the same thing
title should be "idiot goes in water with small kayak after getting attacked by giant crocodile".
Man, y'all must have some serious stones to be Kayaking in Uganda with some big ol Crocs! Lol.
Excelent teamwork!
Nice footage ! Could I use some seconds in your video for my complication ? Thankyou.
Man I sure in hell wouldn't be kayaking in the damn Nile!
You're gonna need a bigger boat.
See, this is the problem, the crocodiles approach the boats because people keep feeding them raft oars and kayak paddles.
I don’t think they consider those food
Haha- yesss.
Seriously, I need to send my mother-in-law on a kayak trip down the Nile river.
Looks a blast kayaking there
Big boi wasn't gonna take no for an answer mate 😳 definitely gonna need a bigger paddle and boat to take on that bloody monster of a croc ! Bloke was not playing for sure 🤨
I like how they're all wearing helmets while getting launched in a plastic boats elbows deep into crocodile infected river
😂😂😂
That’s hilarious
Oh Lord, the kayaks must look like burritos to the crocs
Don't give him another paddle lol. I guess this is where the expression "up sh!t creek without a paddle" comes from
Why? I ask again why would you take an inflatable boat where everything has teeth. I want a big boat. Not an inflatable or kayak. Yall are brave as hel
And he got back in with that little Kayak! Sound like the are asking for it
You should know in the Nile, he is the least of your worries... ever heard of a Hippo? They are WAY more dangarous!!!
So I was really psyched for my Uganda trip in June..... now i'm slightly less excited!
Joe M the jinja section of the Nile is croc and hippo free I guess. This section of the Nile is one of the most croc and hippo infested
Just don’t kayak
@@MK-ib4dp don't kayak with hippos and crocs
How was the trip?
@@corywiedenbeck1562 was eaten by a hippo, i didn't survive.
Was this before or after the construction of the dam? I went rafting in nile rapids today and we were assured by team that there were no crocs in fast moving waters.
Nile me masti mat kar bhai. Apne jivan se pyaar nahi hai kya? Jiu-jitsu karle thrill ke liye ye bakchodi ki jagah
Did y'all forget you're in "their house" !!!
Wouldnt slapping the water repeatedly attract them to come to you 🤔
Well done bro… well done.
Balls of steel. That’s all I have to say, going in such a small boat. The king of the crocs could just be underwater watching you play with his children. Waiting to go alone and tip you all over for lunch….I have chills
more like balls of stupidity
Balls of steel? More like heads full of shit.
Not balls. Peanuts for brains
Man’s harpooning a croc with a paddle, what a beast
My kayak is 3 times the size of his and I get scared when lake's a bit wavy. I don't get what these guys are thinking
Why did they beat the water like that? Were they trying to see if there was a croc nearby by doing that? Since they are so territorial there would only be one big one nearby or something?
I’m sure they could see the croc coming to them. By hitting the water mKe that they may scare it off
So a massive croc is fought off while on a larger boat, then one is seen setting off that boat on a kayak. Why was this done? Death wish?
Eh now that we've agitated the mate why don't ya help me slide off the edge in me kayak to be a simple 8 inches above choppy water we should be safe now. Lmao
They are literally a floating buffet for the crocodiles.
Where you don't want to practice tipping and righting your kayak. 😱
Guide: Croc!!! Hit it!!! Hit it!!!
Guests: Beat it with your paddle, hit it Kevin...hit it...........guys, where's Kevin?!?!?!
Kevin: Let's see what's on Netflix, oh and get room service also.
18 seconds & 23 seconds you almost lost your arm so lucky dude
Y’all have balls being in the Nile in damn kayaks😂 I may be crazy enough to jump out of a plane, but not that crazy lmao.
Croc: Sir, I have an important message about your car-
*PADDLE*
Gustave watching
Absolutely incredible video great job deterring that beast that could have ended Bradley.
That croc jumped higher out of the water than you were canoeing
And you actually kayaking on that water? Why
That was a big 🐊
That's rude. It needs to eat too.
So what if only one KAYAKer was
Alone and taking in the scenery when Gustav decides to have an easy meal ?
I'll never believe kayaks are safe around crocs or gators I hope their poor mothers never see this video .
They aren’t.. Crocodiles especially in Africa take people from kayaks and canoes a lot, I have no idea why the hell people do this.
Very smart to go cayaking, where crocs are. I go running, where lions hunt.
During my Uganda trip I stayed ta a lodge with a beautiful view of the White Nile and similar rapids like this. It was a beautiful view to wake up to. I also saw fishermen staying waist deep in the water. Either they somehow knew there were no crocs in that area or they were pretty stupid.
It's a guesstimation game, they got to eat, usually there aren't any crocs but when there are their worries are over.
WTF?? I just came back from rafting in Uganda today. But they said there's nothing like crocodile or hippo
Haha some parts of the Nile that are considered safe for rafting don't actually have crocs and hippos. It's the extremely slippery rocks one has to look out for.
But hey you're still alive, aren't ya?
There's a documentary with Hendrik Coetzee in it who was pulled out of his kayak by a large on the Nile Congo. They didnt have a river raft though
RIP 🙏
dont attack him he need to eat 😂
What if a couple of crocs get underneath the boat and turn it topsy-turvy? These jerks would have had no chance.
I will never feel sorry for any kayakers who got attacked by crocs when they go kayaking in croc infested water. Literally just asking for trouble
Was it a Kayak or rubber dinghy.🤔 Foolish either way...😐 Glad you guys are ok.!
We had a nice time although I came back with one leg only it was worth it.lol
I'll be damned if I'd be in a kayak! Talking about an easy snack.
Crocs are scary, yes. But aren't there also hippos in the Nile river?
these guys are crazy, there arm and paddle is pretty much touching the water, the crocs dont even have to come out of the water they can just snatch your arm as you paddle/stroke lol
They are missing a few brain cells.
What did you expect...lol
Based on the appearance, These three stooges probably have a combined age of 240 years old. Their combined IQ is probably is 150. These are the reasons why this Alligator was fully in his right to consider these three buffons their dinner.
1) Your Kayak is Neom Green.
2) You are Kayaking in the Nile River rapids, known for their crocodile infested waters.
3) When all three men were splasuing their oars at the water to show aggression. In the meantime down below,, The Crocodile's brain is thinking. "Hummm there's this weird splash that resembles a struggling animal that is bright green that is begging me for me to come eat it. I am in!" Moral of the story, these guys should create a RUclips channel named "Top 10 reasons why I became Croc food"
You make some good points but im struggling with the part where you called a crocodile and alligator. Thats like calling a Lion a Tiger lol
*video plays*
_Bunch of peeps whacking a crocodile with paddles_
Me: *Interesting*
It’s one thing to just cruise down the river in a boat another to kayak !! When tipping over is a common thing …. Into crocodile waters! That’s just suicide
Spoiler: Nile is the habitat of that croc.
Are you rafting the Nile river on a blow up raft? 😦
This is uncensored.
I remember Adriene telling me about this, but holy shit!
I’m glad, where I live there is no crocs, only seals In our river system.
Canoeing in the Nile River... They are real geniuses...
Why the heck are they rafting in the Nile. Lol. ... Asking for it.
We actually have many rafters and kayakers here. It's just special sections dedicated to such activities. These guys were kayaking up North.. very dangerous section.
The good areas are in Jinja near the source of the River.
❤️ 🐊 ❤️
Im sorry not gonna being rude here , i just don't understand .. is it they have no fear of death or they're so stupid ?? why would they kayaking instead of using a boat and knowing so many dangerous wild animal there ??
I love that brit or aussie( don't be mad I can't tell the difference accents) I would love to have a beer with that guy
Um, time to get out of the water, pronto. 🤔
Who could have imagined crocodiles would want to eat you when you enter their literal habitat? When I was in South Africa I made sure to stay the hell away from any water that could hide a croc. I love crocodiles but they are scary and need to be respected.
Legendary nile
Ich würde niemals Kajak in einem Fluss fahren wo Krokodile sind
Put me on record as clearly stating an inflatable boat and/or kayaks in a croc infested river is a lapse of judgement.
Someone will find that paddle at some point downstream and think, "poor bastard, may he rest in peace".
Why would these people kayak in that place??
That's nuts those big Niles could easily make a meal out of those kayakers they are sitting ducks. All the croc has to do is barely reach up & snatch one of them ding dongs out of their tiny match box.
