I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Wikipedia Description: Kalahari Resort and Convention Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kalahari Resort & Convention Center is a resort chain with waterparks that has locations in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin and Sandusky, Ohio.

Overview:

Both resorts have a distinct African theme. The lobbies have artificial waterfalls, trees, animals, etc. Special African-themed events, such as getting your picture taken with baby tigers, are also held. Most of the water slides in their water parks are named after African animals, such as the "Rippling Rhino" and the "Wild Wildebeest". Other things included in Kalahari are restaurants, gift shops, sweet shops, and a variety of rooms and suites.

Name:

The Kalahari Resort is named after the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa, hence its African theme.

Wisconsin Dells Location:

Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, home of the largest outdoor water park, Noah's Ark, is also home to the first Kalahari Resort, which is known for having the largest indoor water park in America (125,000 square feet). After Fall 2007, Wisconsin Dells will not hold the "America's Largest Indoor Waterpark title, as its predecessor, Kalahari Sandusky will be home to "America's Largest Indoor Waterpark". The Kalahari Indoor Waterpark, is home to the 1st indoor Master Blaster, an uphill water coaster. Water park admission is included upon staying at the resort, but also available to the general public as well. Prices for the general public vary, due to special holiday discounts. Along with the indoor water park, there is also an outdoor water park, which is also very large.

The resort has two main restaurants: The Great Karoo and Kahunaville. You can also rent one of the resort's condominiums rather than a room or suite. Other activities at Kalahari include going to their relaxing spa or luxurious lounges, golfing at the Trappers Turn Golf Club, located on the outside of town, enjoying their gift and sweat shops, and even create your own pottery.

Sandusky Location:

The Sandusky, Ohio location is about the same as its predecessor, except the restaurant and shop names slightly differ. It did not have an outdoor water park until summer 2006, but as of then, it is still smaller than the one in the Wisconsin Dells Kalahari. The indoor water park is also smaller (80,000 square feet), but still has the same variety of rides and attractions. The waterpark is undergoing a 93,000 sq. foot expansion. Once this is complete, the Sandusky indoor waterpark will be larger than the Wis. Dells Kalahari. It may also be the United States' largest indoor waterpark with a size of 173,000 sq. feet. Also included are the same golf courses, condominiums, spa, etc. as in the Wisconsin Dells location.

Convention Centers:

Both Kalahari Resorts include a convention center. This is where people can hold meetings, parties, and banquets. Their centers have also won numerous awards.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
