If you’re looking for a family-friendly adventure that offers an adrenaline rush while cooling off in the hot African sun, Wild Waters Nyali water park is the place to be! Situated in Nyali, Mombasa county, Kenya, Wild Waters offers a range of activities that cater to all ages.
Attractions:
One of the most exciting things about Wild Waters Nyali is its water slides. The slides come in various styles and shapes for kids and adults alike, and they are guaranteed to have your heart racing as you speed down them faster than the legal speed limit in Kenya. Here’s a look at some of the most popular water slides in the park:
Spirals: These slides are made like tubes that spiral all the way down to the pool below. Once you enter the tube at the top, you are engulfed in total darkness as you speedily spiral down that slide that opens up into the pool below. As you guessed it, this only ends one way, a big splash into the pool. Basically, it’s slide, splash, repeat.
Flume bowl: This slide ends in a bowl-like structure that one spins around in until being dropped in the middle down to the swimming pool. You would have to experience it to really get its thrill.
It’s worth noting that this slide is strictly for adults only who are good swimmers, as the pool below is five feet deep.
Water Play Station – This is an area of the Wild Waters Nyali particularly popular for kids. The water play station has jets of water spraying from all directions. Children can climb the structures in the spraying water and splash around in the shallow pool. One fantastic feature of the Water Play Station is an enormous bucket that fills up with water and automatically tilts over to pour the water on all and sundry in the Water Play Station.
Lazy River – The Lazy River is quite literally for lazing around. It is a 270-meter river-like channel of water that surrounds the entire water park. You can lay atop a tube and drift away in the river taking in the sunshine and observing everything going on around you.
