00:00Just north of Lilongwe, Kukuye Amusement Park is bringing a burst of color, excitement and possibility to Malawi's leisure scene.
00:10It's the country's first amusement park and it's quickly becoming the go-to spot for families and social gatherings.
00:17In a country where recreational options are often limited, Kukuye is stepping in to fill the gap,
00:23offering not just entertainment but also potential tourism opportunities.
00:27You know people have been seeing this maybe from outside countries.
00:33They make holidays from Malawi going outside countries just to be entertained with this type of facility.
00:40But now we've brought it home so that everybody should enjoy it.
00:44With vibrant rides, cheerful spaces and a fresh entertainment vibe, Kukuye is more than just a park. It is an experience.
00:51We have a ferris wheel. This is the biggest machine we have. In total it can take 72 people at one go.
01:00Apart from the ferris wheel, we have a topspin. The topspin is the one behind me, just next to me.
01:07This one takes 20 people. We also have a double flying. This double flying, you relax a bit.
01:16Yeah? You enjoy. You just sit. It takes you up. It's as if you're in a plane. It's a very, very good experience.
01:25Visitors are already embracing the park with enthusiasm.
01:28The opening of Kukuye Amusement Park is a game changer for Malawi's entertainment and tourism industry.
01:35It creates a new space for families and friends to come together.
01:39Besides boosting local tourism, it also positions Malawi as a travel destination offering something more beyond wildlife and natural tourism.
01:51I'm so excited with this development that we've now finally have an amusement park in Malawi.
01:58This is a place of its kind.
02:01As a mom of an underpipe boy, I'm looking forward to patronizing this amusement park
02:08and looking forward to one of those weekends where I'll be taking my boy to the park to have fun and enjoy
02:14and most of it all to create and collect memories with my boy at Kukuye Amusement Park.
