Ushaka Marine World is often referred to as “Africa’s number one theme park”. It’s much more than an aquarium and you can see everything from the “dangerous creatures” to penguins and shark at this centre. Top off the day at Moyo on the Pier for a great view and even better food. Take a virtual tour of the venue before you head over there so you know what to expect. It costs R139 per adult to get into the Sea World, so make sure you make the most of it. The theme park also has the highest water slide in the Southern Hemisphere in their “Wet ‘n Wild” section. You can buy a combo ticket for the two venues for R185, but just remember that the Wet ‘n Wild section is closed on Monday and Tuesday during off-peak season. Image source

Cricket is very much part of South Africa’s culture and watching cricket on Boxing Day in Durban has become somewhat of a tradition. Kingsmead is Durban’s cricket ground and it has hosted many memorable matches. You don’t even have to enjoy cricket to enjoy a day out at the ground. The vibe is always pleasant and packing a picnic is a great way to spend a few lazy hours in the sun – or, if you are that way inclined – the whole day.
