Gearing up to the 10th year with Valentines celebrations at uShaka in February and taking love to new depths!!

Published

We’ve paddled, flapped, slithered and slid into our tenth year. Celebrate 10 years of seaside fun with the staff, finned, feathered and funky residents of uShaka Marine World, Africa’s largest marine theme park.  For us, a 10th birthday is far more than a one day celebration. We’ll be splashing out with fantastic specials and cool events from now until the end of April.

With February being the “love month”, we will be getting into the vibe with our new campaign “I Love uShaka” to celebrate all things warm and fuzzy over the Valentine’s period.

Falling on a Friday, this Valentine’s Day will be extended for an entire weekend – running from Friday, February 14th until Sunday, February 16th – with so much to do, see and win.

For those with a love for fabulous food, then treat your tummy to a yummy meal at the Cargo Hold, who have lovingly created two special menus for you to enjoy with that special someone this Valentine’s weekend at a cost of R325 pp for the standard menu or R695 for the cupid’s admiral platter for two that includes live entertainment or visit any one of our many superb restaurants in the Village walk, including Piatto Mediterranean Kitchen, Centre Court, Moyo, Panarotti’s, Ocean Basket, Café Java, Silverspear Spur and many more – you’re spoilt for choice!

If locking lips with your someone special is number one on your list this Valentine’s Day then visit our kissing couch in the Village Walk where couples can snuggle up and have their pictures taken free, which will be uploaded to our uShaka Marine World Facebook page. Tag yourself in your image and stand a chance to win a R1000 Cargo Hold voucher as well as other fantastic prizes.

Then if you’re game – share our theme this year by bringing an umbrella and joining in the Salsa dancing in the Village Walk, with qualified teachers to show you how to move to the sultry groove!

That’s not all; on Valentine’s night look out for our sexy characters handing out chocolates to make your day extra sweet.

Now, we will be going even further by hosting a super awesome deal for 10 days! The fun begins on Friday the 14thand ends on Sunday, February 23rd  – if you buy a combo ticket at R185 your “1 & only” only pays R10! So treat your special someone to a great day out without breaking the bank!

Wahooz on the promenade will also be booming this month with a number of acts performing for the crowds. Catch rock bands such as : Zaffa on 15th & 22nd, Reggae band, The Meditators every Sunday !

Plus, if you need to do some last minute Valentine’s shopping, uShaka’s retail outlets in the Village Walk will have all you need to spoil your other half.

There is so much on offer here at uShaka Marine World so share in the love this month and make your date with us at uShaka!

Back by popular demand, Durban comedy favourites Aaron McIlroy and Lisa Bobbert-McIlroy return to the Northlands Bowling Club, in Durban North for audiences who missed the show the first time around.

Expect old favourite characters and a soundtrack packed with thumping hits as McIlroy and Bobbert once again deliver their trademark blend of side-splitting humour, larger-than-life personalities, and musical mayhem!

Some characters to expect; Bruce and Charmaine as unforgettable Elvis impersonators, Dot and Max settling into the chaos of retirement village life, and everyone’s favourite philosopher of the people, Dr Veejay, offering his “words of wisdom.” Add in a host of hilarious new faces, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a fun night out!

Directed and choreographed by the sensational Daisy Spencer, Bump and Grind promises to keep audiences on their feet — or rolling in the aisles — with laughter, music, and McIlroy & Bobbert’s unbeatable comic chemistry.

Whether you’re seeing it for the first time or coming back for more, this is a musical comedy experience not to be missed.
