[edit] uShaka Sea World
This is one of the main attractions of the amusement park. It is the 5th largest aquarium in the world boasting 32 tanks totaling 17,500 cubic meters of water. The sea creatures found in the tanks range from small sea horses all the way through to Sharks and Dolphins.
[edit] uShaka The Phantom Ship
The ship is an old wreck which was brought in to the amusement park during construction. It has been converted to contain a number of restaurants and cafes. The most notable of these restaurants is "The Cargo Hold" restaurant which contains a full wall sized aquarium containing a number of sharks which is visible from most of the dining areas.
[edit] uShaka Wet 'n Wild
This is the water park which contains many rides for the young and old. From the lazy river ride which goes through the ship wreck and past some tanks, to the adrenaline pumping high speed slides.
There is a large grass area around the swimming pools where people can relax and tan if they have had too much of the slides.
[edit] uShaka Beach
This is a beach which has direct access from the amusement park. It boasts a large pier leading out into the ocean and pristine sand beaches
[edit] uShaka Village Walk
This is where all the tourist shops are located containing very "African" items. It is designed to feel like one is walking through a zulu hut with large wooden beams on the ceiling, and a thatch roof. Also includes a number of restaurants and cafes
