OMG I actually did it! After 3 or 4 previous visits to the Oasiria Waterpark I finally got up the courage to ride the Kamikaze. For those of you not familiar with Oasiria, it is a family Waterpark located a few kms Southwest of Menara Airport on the Route du Barrage.

There are 5 Water-slides or Toboggans at Oasiria and on previous visits I had been happy racing my 8 year old daughter down the 6 lane ‘multi-pistes’ and trying my luck on the 3 ‘snake’ slides the ‘Anaconda’, the ‘Boa’ and the ‘Cobra’. But somehow I had managed to resist the temptation of the aptly titled 17 metre high Kamikaze. Mainly because I never saw anyone else brave enough to try it.
                      
But alas the guests at our Villa this week included Dan....all 6ft 4” of him. After much goading from my 8 year old he was finally pestered into taking up the challenge and, fearing my macho status was under threat, I was forced to follow suit. What happened next? Watch the Youtube video to find out...

The Oasiria Waterpark on the Southwest outskirts of Marrakech is a must visit for families. It has 5 Water-slides with varying degrees of severity, a Wave Pool, a Pirate Ship for younger children and a calming River-ride. It also has a shop and several restaurants for lunch.
