Durban, brace yourself – you’re about to go full ninja mode.
Whether you’re five or 55, if you’ve ever dreamed of leaping through the air, conquering a warped wall, or just flopping dramatically into a foam pit, we’ve got excellent news. Total Ninja, Africa’s largest indoor obstacle and inflatable adventure park, is opening a brand-new location at Westown Square Mall in Shongweni and it’s launching on 12 April 2025.
This isn’t their first rodeo, either. Following the roaring success of their Gateway venue (which quickly turned into every Durban kid’s favourite weekend hangout – sorry, beaches), Total Ninja is now expanding west and bringing a whole lot of high-energy family fun along for the ride.
“We’re incredibly honoured to be one of the first businesses to open at Westown Square Mall,” says Dorita Correia, Director of Total Ninja South Africa. “This new development marks an exciting chapter for Durban’s western region, and we’re proud to bring an experience that supports active lifestyles, family connection, and community fun. Total Ninja is more than just an adventure park – it’s a space where people of all ages can come together, get moving, and make unforgettable memories.”
In a world full of screens, sugar, and sedentary Saturdays, Total Ninja is basically the superhero of family outings. It’s active, social, and, most importantly, wildly fun.


So, what’s inside this giant ninja playground?
Glad you asked! Here’s what you can expect:
Ninja obstacle courses: Think swings, warped walls, balance beams, and enough adrenaline to power a school holiday.
Mini ninja zone: Soft play heaven for under-4s, so the little ones can wobble, tumble, and squeal their hearts out.
Party & event packages: Planning a birthday bash, school trip, or team-building shindig? Sorted.
On-site amenities: For the spectators (aka tired parents), there’s comfy seating, refreshments, and enough visibility to cheer while sipping your flat white.
The best part? It’s designed for all ages and skill levels. So, whether you’re a seasoned obstacle course warrior or a slightly creaky first-timer, there’s something here for you. You can even challenge your kids to a race. Just… maybe stretch first.
So, Durban crew, save the date: 12 April 2025. Grand opening festivities, giveaways, exclusive first-access fun – it’s all going down. Time to dust off your inner ninja (and maybe your knees).
See you on the foam pit side.
