uShaka Wet 'n Wild

A fun fresh water world of slides and pools, uShaka’s Wet ‘n Wild caters for the adrenaline junkie and those less adventurous!

Reviewed By Alfie1608

When friends from Bothaville visited us in Amanzimtoti, the obvious choice for me was to take them for an outing to Ushaka Marine World. Needless to say, they were impressed beyond comprehension with what they saw and experienced. The highlight of the visit being the dolphin show which was both informative and super exciting. They had their pics taken with the heroes post the show, and following a light snack at one of the many fast food outlets, we headed back home, tired but completely gratified.

Reviewed By tracyleer_12 - Johannesburg, South Africa

We really enjoyed our visit to Acrobranch. My sons enjoyed climbing around on the different obstacle courses they have in the trees. The big zip line was an absolute hit with dad & the kids despite them being a little nervous. The boys enjoyed the other 4 zip lines but the big zip was the winner hands down. Its a wonderful outdoor adventure that keeps everyone entertained for hours and well worth the price. The staff were fantastic and have loads of patience with the kids, big and small. Remember the park is a cash free zone so pay online when booking or take your bank card. We will certainly be returning soon.

Big Rush Urban Adrenaline

Reviewed By codylevitt - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I've had a massive fear of heights ever since I could remember, I decided to take the plunge and address this fear with doing this jump. End result was an incredible experience, fear breaking and it has given me a taste for adrenaline! Highly recommended for anyone willing to conquer their fear of heights! Staff were amazing! The satisfaction and sigh of relief after doing the jump whilst swinging across the stadium was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders! Don't stress yourself out, just do it!

We have a world of activities for kids who love climbing, jumping, running, exploring, thinking and engaging with a range of zones we've worked very hard to build. You see everything we've built has a purpose - to help bright buttons grow through play.

Saddle Creek Adventures

Reviewed By esmeels - Hennenman, South Africa

My husband and I visited the Adventure spot and was so pleased with the wonderful welcome that we got. Our guide was very helpful and made sure we were safe. I would recommend this to everyone with a sense of adventure in their bones. Don't be scared to try something new. Much better to say "been there and done that, and will do it again" than to wish that you done it. Life is a wave, just ride it!!!

Wetrock Adventures

Reviewed By AntWillow - Durban, South Africa

A very friendly and professional team greeted us inside this indoor wet slide adventure haven for kids and adults alike. Warm water, takes the edge off the winter chill and when you done, sliding you can take a breather down the lazy river. Whether its a kids party or you going alone or with mates and family, this is a super spot to simply have good clean fun. During or after your chosen session, enjoy the sumptious food on offer at the Cafe or get the kids a slush puppy. From the delicious coffee, through to the professional life guards, through to the awesome all around experience, I would strongly recommend Wet Rock as a definite place to visit. Enjoy!!
