This famous theme park is divided into five sections:\u00a0uShaka Wet ‘n Wild, uShaka Sea World, uShaka Beach, uShaka Kids World and\u00a0uShaka Village Walk.<\/p>\n

Located on the strip of land between the harbor and the beachfront, the marine park which opened on the 30th of April in 2004 has become one of the main attractions of ‘Golden Mile’ in Durban.\u00a0The uShaka Sea World, which is currently the fifth largest Aquarium in the world, no doubt promises\u00a0an extravagance of fun and excitement.<\/p>\n

The Ushaka village Walk is designed to look like an African village; it includes numerous shops, cafes and multiple restaurants and will give you the ultimate experience of the African village.<\/p>\n

Suncoast Casino And Entertainment World<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Also located on Durban’s Golden Mile, this hotel and casino which opened on the 12th of September, 2000 has become one of Durban’s first-rate tourist attractions.\u00a0Suncoast, which is owned by Tsogo Sun, currently houses South Africa’s largest casino complex.<\/p>\n

Suncoast also offers\u00a0a wide variety of shows, a rich &\u00a0diverse atmosphere\u00a0and a flurry of activities which caters to everyone. Comprising of its own semi-private beach, cinemas and a beach bar – No wonder people can’t get enough of it.<\/p>\n

Durban International Film Festival<\/h2>\n

This annual film festival is known to attract movie directors, producers, actors, actresses and celebrities from countries all over the world. This festival aims to showcase not only the best of South African entertainment but that of Africa as a whole.<\/p>\n

Roma Revolving Restaurant<\/h2>\n

Designed to operate as basically a large turntable, the building remains static while the patrons in\u00a0the restaurant are conveyed on the rotating floor. This permits the diners to enjoy a unique, bird’s eye view of the city without having to leave their seats.<\/p>\n

Known for its exclusivity, its delectable menu and astounding view – it is quite easy to understand why Roma Revolving Restaurant\u00a0is still as relevant today as it was in February 1973, when it opened.<\/p>\n

\"Roma<\/p>\n

Not only does\u00a0Roma\u00a0excite your taste buds, it also caters to you as a person. Very few restaurants in the entire world can offer the unique experience which Roma does and it would be a shame to miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity such as this.<\/p>\n

Afro’s Chicken<\/h2>\n

Afro’s chicken is worth a shot if you’re looking for a good place in Durban to have a good meal. Boasting a commendable menu and affordable prices, this chic takeaway restaurant is what you’re looking for if you want to have a delicious\u00a0meal on the go.
\n\"Afro's<\/p>\n

The fun doesn’t end here, however. Durban will always remain a city that has over a thousand things to offer\u00a0and over a million places to visit.<\/p>\n

The Wave House, Durban Botanical Garden, KZN SA Gallery, North Beach, Mitchell Zoo park, Wilson’s Wharf,\u00a0Umengi River Bird Park,\u00a0The Golden Mile, The Morning Trade Market, KwaMuhle Museum, Little Gujarat and House of Curries deserve honorary mentions as well.<\/p>\n
