I would suggest finding a long stick or a sturdy branch and using it to carefully make your way across the river, keeping a safe distance from the crocodiles. Another option could be to try and find a shallow area of the river where you can wade through. It's important to be cautious and aware of your surroundings when dealing with potentially dangerous animals.
