uShaka Marine World
In January 2004 Sea World closed its doors to the public and
reopened as uShaka Marine World, which has become the largest
marine theme park in Africa. The park is tastefully themed with
African imagery and has five zones offering entertainment, dining,
a variety of shops, water slides and access to uShaka Beach. Wet 'n
Wild offers eight water rides, ranging from heart-stopping,
adrenalin-pumping rides to lazy activities for the less
adventurous. Sea World has an aquarium with thousands of fish,
reptiles, and aquatic mammals on display; a dolphinarium that
performs regular musical shows; a penguin rookery, and interactive
activities like snorkelling and the 'shark walk'. The Village Walk
features the new Dangerous Creatures exhibit, with spiders, snakes,
frogs, scorpions and other poisonous creatures. Rayz Kids World
gives kids a place to burn off energy with massive jungle gyms and
climbing structures. For adults, Moyo offers an oasis at the end of
the pier with a brand-new double-story bar right over the water.
uShaka is in South Beach, so you can walk there along the beach, or
take a bus or kombie. The area can be dangerous, but once inside
the park security is good and it's relatively safe.

Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
