Durban Tourist – 10 Things in One Day

We love our anniversary. Every year, my husband and I celebrate this special day with style. Our ninth anniversary was no different, except for the fact that it was our first in our new home. We decided to celebrate the day as tourists in our new city. We set the goal of trying to fit as many activities as we could into one day.

This is what we managed in one day:

1.     Early morning run along the Umhlanga Promenade

2.     Breakfast at Remos in the Umhlanga Village

3.     Trip up the Moses Mabhida Stadium Skycar

4.     Segway trip along the beachfront and into the empty stadium

5.     Rented a tandem bicycle and rode from the Stadium to Addington Hospital

6.     Cocktail at the Oyster Box Hotel in Umhlanga

7.     Craft Beer at Franks Speakeasy in Mount Edgecombe

8.     Hit a bucket of golf balls at the Mount Edgecombe Country Club Driving Range

9.     Glass of champagne at a Friend's house on the Mount Edgecombe Country Estate

10.  Beautiful dinner at Ile Maurice in Umhlanga

A pretty successful day…

UShaka Kids World

Perhaps I have been living with my head under a rock for the past two years, but I didn’t realize that there is more to our Ushaka than Wet and Wild and Sea World.  I read about Kids World and decided to give it a visit. Wow, what a fantastic discovery!

The Pirate jungle gym is amazing, definitely the biggest one I have ever seen. My girls had the best fun shooting the water cannon at the Wet and Wild visitors on the Lazy river. The sprinkler park was great safe water fun.

The park was quite empty when we visited so they didn’t have any shows, instead we were able to touch the Birds and meet and greet with the Ushaka mascots.

Tip: Unlike the other sections of Ushaka, you are allowed to take in food purchased at certain outlets in the Village.

We spent a great day at Kids World and will definitely visit again.
