Splashin' Safari

 

Welcome to Splashin' Safari - possibly the best water park in the States

The Wave

Wahtubee

Muziki Bay - this is where the old waterfortress used to be.  Now there is a stage and shallow pool to play in while you watch

Otorongo.  Go is still our favorite slide

Safari Racers.  Unfortunately they no longer have timers

Zinga

ZOOMbabwe.  It was definitely warm in that tube today

Safari Sam's Splashland

Bahari Wave Pool (we honestly liked the Wave better)

Mammoth Water Coaster

Wildebeest Water Coaster - this one is still our favorite

Kima Bay.  There is also another kiddie slide area and a kiddie wavepool on up the hill, but since we didn't have kids with us, we didn't venture into that area

This was added since our last visit - Cheetah Chase

The immediate launch up the hill out of the station was interesting

The flying saucer turns seemed more of a gimmick than anything.  It was a fun watercoaster and the racing element was unique, but since its the shortest of the three watercoasters here, it probably comes in third overall

Bahari River.  We still think it was a mistake taking out the other lazy river as this one gets extremely busy.  Maybe time to add another with a faster current and more water interactions?

Bakuli bowl slide

We had a decent time at the park - but would hate to be here on a capacity crowd day.  Since it was so hot outside, everyone at the park was in the waterpark and that made the lines very long even with a "week day crowd".  Crazy to say, the park needs more capacity still
