Part of Tufani Falls, the Sahara Sidewinders are the nation's only indoor looping waterslides! From 60 feet high, these new Super Loop slides take you on a 250-plus foot journey from above the roof of the waterpark to an amazing splashdown below!
I will certainly return to Kalahari and will spread the word about the great experience I had there.
