WildThingz offers daily snake shows, guided tours, and more for visitors.


No need to drive all the way to Sun City for a good time, Limpopo has just opened its very own water park for families to enjoy fun in the sun.

The newly renovated entertainment hub, that forms part of Meropa Casino and Entertainment World, also boast a bird and reptile park to keep the whole family entertained.

Meropa’s General Manager, Sammy Mokhele, emphasised the venue’s significance as Limpopo’s entertainment hub.

“As the heartbeat of Limpopo, Meropa’s entertainment offering is suited to more than just kids’ parties, with our new private gaming room and an upcoming renovation for our Salon Privé,” he said.
