Kalahari Resorts - Overview

Overview

The Kalahari Resort is named after the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa, hence the African theme at all the resorts. The lobbies have artificial fountains, trees, and animals. Special African-themed events, such as getting photographed with baby tigers, are also held. Most of the water slides are named after African animals, such as the Rippling Rhino and the Wild Wildebeest. Other services at the Kalahari include restaurants, gift shops, and sweet shops. Kalahari Resorts Wisconsin Dells includes a 95,000 square feet (8,800 m2) convention center, while Kalahari Resorts Sandusky, Ohio, as of January 2012, has a 215,000 square feet (20,000 m2) one. The Kalahari Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells, and the Nia Center in Sandusky have both won awards for their AquaRecycle system, a laundry water recycling and filtration system that reuses 70 percent of its laundry water.
