Africa Adventure

Durban is South Africa’s patch of tropical paradise. Its temperate climate, mild winters and sunny beaches attract tourists all year round, but there is more to the city than its sea.

uShaka Marine World is everything one would expect from an ocean-themed park. Water rides, an aquarium and shark cage diving are just some of the things on offer. Under water fun includes Ocean Walker, an opportunity to walk the floor of the open ocean exhibit with a space-like helmet and nothing else between you and the fish. If you prefer to keep your head closer to the surface, you can try the Snorkel Lagoon.

Wet ‘n Wild water park boasts the highest slide in the southern hemisphere. The Drop Zone is 18m of addictive heart-thumping terror that ends in a splash and smiles. The Mamba Tunnel takes you on a roller coaster ride in damp darkness, while the Torpedo Kamikaze is exactly as it sounds – insanity on speed.
