Safely tucked away on the shores of the Indian Ocean, Durban is home to many sun-kissed beaches—but that’s not the only reason why you should visit it with your family. Kid-friendly attractions are scattered all around this South African city, and these three are its very best.
uShaka Marine World
If you want to exchange a day at the beach for an even more exciting, water-based experience, uShaka Marine World is the place to be. Split into eight sections, this water park is home to one of the world’s largest aquariums, and it also offers snorkeling lagoon and shark cage dives.
Minitown
If you’re in the mood to visit a tiny city build with miniature building models while in Durban, Minitown is the place to be. It will allow your kids to explore the architecture of South Africa on a smaller scale and have an amazing time along the way.
Umgeni River Bird Park
Nature lovers won’t run out of places to explore while in Durban because there are many nature reserves surrounding the city. Umgeni River Bird Park is one of the very best that you can appreciate with your entire family since it’s home to many exotic, tropical bird species.
