Things to do in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: The Best Water & Amusement Parks

July 6, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

KwaZulu-Natal (/kwɑːˌzuːluː nəˈtɑːl/; also referred to as KZN and known as "the garden province") is a province of South Africa that was created in 1994 when the Zulu bantustan of KwaZulu ("Place of the Zulu" in Zulu) and Natal Province were merged. It is located in the southeast of the country, enjoying a long shoreline beside the Indian Ocean and sharing borders with three other provinces and the countries of Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho. Its capital is Pietermaritzburg and its largest city is Durban. It is the 2nd most populous province in South Africa, with slightly fewer residents than Gauteng.

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.

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!

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!!
