DURBAN CENTRAL EXPERIENCE
The captivating uShaka Marine World
At the end of Durban’s Golden Mile is Africa’s largest marine theme park. uShaka Marine World incorporates fresh and sea water, lush vegetation, and the recreation of a 1920’s cargo shipwreck into a magical world of sea and marine life.
No matter what the occasion, you will always find something to do at uShaka Marine World, from dining at restaurants on the ocean’s edge to the unforgettable shopping experience at uShaka Village Walk.
For the adventurous there are world-class dolphin shows and adrenalin pumping water-slides, including the highest slide in Africa. After all the action, you can spend a lazy afternoon sunbathing on uShaka beach or sipping sundowners at Moyo cafe, on the uShaka Marine pier.
