We went on a hockey and rugby tour to South Africa. One of our treats was to go to Ushaka marine world in Durban. When we got there we got taken to go and see the dolphin show it was amazing! Our teacher was a volenteer to go and kiss the dolphin. Next it was time to go into 'WET... more

Please note that this review is for the restaurant only of the uShaka complex and not for the whole complex itself. The restaurant is set in an old ship that was successfully converted into a 2 floor-restaurant with one wall made of glass where you can see sharks swimming around. I must say I expected something tacky as you can... more

Visited here in Spring 2007. Staff were clearly untrained and not interested in their jobs. Had to ask the same question to 4 different people before we got a straight answer. The waterpark was closed and there were no dives being done the day we went which was disappointing. Having to walk through about 60 shops before even getting to... more

Very few rides, fairly greasy dirty water, bad queuing systems (as we found all over South Africa actually) though it's very cheap to get in - around 8 GBP per... more

an attractive and very interesting place to visit... --a short walk after you park in the adjourning compounds for a small daily fee...safer than parking on the main road -- the 'wreck' is amazing - so well laid out in terms of the vast species of all sea life - big and small, to the rustic decor and soft background... more

I had the priviledge to visit and enjoy the sublime beauty of the nature and fantastic creation of the mankind on my visit to South Africa. Ushaka Marine World is located in Durban, walking distance from the seaport. It is one of the largest marine aquariums in the world but having seen the one in Singapore, I think this place... more

My hubby and I visited in May 2007. uShaka is a great improvement over the old Sea World aquarium, while still retaining the same ideas that made Sea World so popular. They have two separate amphitheatres for dolphin and seal shows, along with a penguin habitat and a place where you can go and swim with the fishes. The dolphin... more
