Experience the thrill and chill at the water park
Welcome to Mafunyane Riverside Water Park - the "coolest" place in the Lowveld.

Be the coolest kid in the pool
Mafunyane Riverside Water Park is an affordable place where every member of the family will be the coolest on the block. With 11 slides and 3 pools, there is an activity that will suit every person’s spirit level of adventure.
The Monkey Pool boasts a clown fountain for the little ones to enjoy, and as an added bonus, two new surprise attractions will be coming soon.
The thrilling slides are:
Rampant Rhino
The Rampant Rhino tube slide starts off slow but picks up speed as the turns become sharper before spitting you out into the main pool known as Indlovu.
Great for all ages!
Laughing Hyena
The Laughing Hyena body slide will have you chuckling away as you burst out of the water after a fast paced ride down the steep spiraling turns of this ride.
Cheetah’s Challenge
The Cheetah’s Challenge will make you think you’ve been through a washing machine after this narrow slide’s sharp corners throw you from side to side all the way down. This body slide is great for kids but perfect for adults too.
Zooming Zebras
These two Kamikaze tube slides are designed for speed. The big drop combined with the speed of this ride makes it great for those looking for an exciting adrenalin rush.
Boomslang Bungee and Leaping Leopard
On these two Kamikaze body slides, we suggest you hold your breath and cross your legs as you plunge down the steep slopes into the water below. A need for speed and bags full of fun!
Indlovu
The main pool is known as Indlovu “The Elephant” – here you can relax on a tube or enjoy the sun while you take a break from the slides.

Happy Hippo
The Happy Hippo body slide will have young kids feeling comfortable enough to take on the big rides in no time at all. Perfectly paced to introduce kids to what’s in store as they get older.
Squirrel Scurry
The Squirrel Scurry is a short fun slide where kids can race each other down to the Monkey Pool.
Lazy Lizzard
The Kiddies Lazy River tube will have kids feeling like explorers as they drift from the Monkey Pool at a leisurely pace down to the main pool.
