Funland Amusements SA

Funland Amusements SA is a family owned and run mobile amusement ride company based in Cape Town. The team aims to entertain guests of all ages, with attractions that range from gentle children’s favourites to high-adrenaline crowd pleasers. Positioned as one of the leading funfairs in South Africa and the biggest mobile amusement ride company in Cape Town, they bring a full fairground experience to event sites with a focus on safety, service and value.

Their ride portfolio covers an impressive spread. Classic family draws include the Big Wheel and Big Swing, while the Scrambler, Tornado and Mexican Hat add pace and excitement for thrill seekers. Bumper Cars remain a perennial hit for all ages, and there are dedicated kiddies’ options such as the Kiddie Swing, Planes and Jets. The mix allows organisers to build a line-up that suits the demographics of their crowd, from the very young to experienced ride enthusiasts.

Beyond rides, Funland Amusements SA supplies game stalls where guests can try their hand and win prizes, adding an authentic funfair atmosphere to any occasion. They also operate a first class catering unit, which means events can be supported with on-site refreshments alongside the entertainment. With children’s rides, games and catering available, the company is equipped to deliver a rounded, family friendly experience.

Hire is flexible. Attractions can be booked individually to complement an existing programme, or combined into a complete funfair configured for the space and audience. Funland Amusements SA caters for a wide range of event types, including corporate events, concerts, shows, film work, TV productions, private functions, carnivals and public funfairs. Whether it is a single hero ride as a focal point or a full park-style set-up, they operate 12 months of the year to meet demand in different seasons.

Safety underpins every aspect of their operation. All rides are fully tested and the company is insured for public liability. A qualified health and safety officer oversees compliance, and staff and operators are fully trained in ride maintenance and day-to-day operations. Each attraction is evaluated, with safety checks carried out to ensure suitability for riders and conditions. This structured approach is designed to deliver excitement in a safe, controlled environment.

Planning support is part of the service. The team offers site meetings to assess potential locations and discuss specific requirements, then recommends a line-up and layout that matches the brief and budget. The fair can be brought directly to the client’s doorstep, and there is an emphasis on flexibility and imagination to maximise value and guest enjoyment, whether space is compact or expansive.

Experience counts in this sector, and Funland Amusements SA traces its roots back to 1975 when the founders’ father started the business. Having been part of the carnival scene for decades, they combine hands-on knowledge of ride operations with a personal, sincere approach to customer care. As a family run enterprise, they highlight attentive service and a professional standard across delivery, set-up and operation.

From traditional carousel and dodgems to state-of-the-art thrill rides, Funland Amusements SA can arrange a blend that fits the character of each occasion. Based in Cape Town and operating year round, they provide a mobile solution that scales from small community gatherings to large public festivals and broadcast productions, always with a focus on reliable operation, crowd appeal and comprehensive safety management.
