uShaka Marine World celebrates 10 years this April, and on Saturday, April 19^th & on Sunday, April 20^th, the Easter Bunny will be hopping, bopping and stowing away chocolate treasures at uShaka Marine World as part of the Beacon’s Africa’s largest Easter egg hunt, which is going to be even more fun and exciting this year, due to a whole new and improved course that families can join in and follow.

As part of uShaka’s tenth birthday, this year’s mega egg hunt will celebrate in the sweetest way possible – with 100 000 Beacon marshmallow eggs (or tokens) hidden in nooks and crannies across the continent’s largest marine theme park. Each child entering the park, will receive a goodie bag with a Easter treasure map featuring a number of exciting clues which draw attention to our many animals housed at the park – so not only will you collect Easter eggs, but you will be able to see all our amazing creatures at the same time, allowing the whole family to enjoy the expedition. Special clue – remember to pack that cossie and towel – Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Not only can the kiddies claim their tasty treats by participating in the hunt, but there are also fun activities planned in Wet ‘n Wild, Sea World and uShaka Kids World, where the little ones can participate in fun activities to increase their chocolate loot.

On both days, the hunt begins bright and early at 7am and ends with a special Easter Dolphin Show at 8.30am starring the uShaka Marine World’s Ocean Warrior Mascots Delia the Dolphin, Slippy the Seal, Rusty the Penguin and Raggy the Shark as well as the Easter Bunny and uShaka’s world famous dolphins. Remember that tickets – at R110 per person – are limited. Purchase yours in advance at uShaka Marine World ticketing or Computicket.

The nineties will always be remembered as the last great decade in music history. A time when rock anthems, bubblegum pop, and hip-hop grooves ruled the airwaves, shaping the soundtrack of a generation. Now, Durbanites can relive the magic with 90s Mania, an electrifying celebration of this iconic musical era!

Featuring a stellar 10-piece cast of talented singers and musicians, 90s Mania is a high-energy nostalgia trip packed with chart-topping hits and unforgettable performances. This dynamic show takes audiences on a journey through the decade’s diverse musical landscape, from powerhouse pop divas to alternative rock legends and everything in between.

Get ready to sing along to the anthems of The Cranberries, Shania Twain, Roxette, Celine Dion, and Gloria Estefan, who dominated the 90s with their powerful vocals and timeless hits. Male rockers also made their mark, with legends like Robbie Williams, Lenny Kravitz, and Ricky Martin bringing charisma and energy to the global stage.

Hip-hop fans won’t be disappointed either! The 90s saw rap and R&B soar in popularity, thanks to artists like Coolio and Will Smith, while all-girl pop sensations The Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child reshaped the music industry with their infectious tunes and girl-power anthems.

And let’s not forget the rock veterans who continued to thrive in the 90s! Bands like Genesis, Mike and The Mechanics, and Bon Jovi ensured that classic rock stayed on top, while South Africa’s very own superstars, Mango Groove and Mandoza, put local music on the global map.

This is more than just a show—it’s a full-blown 90s party experience! Whether you lived through the era or are discovering its incredible music for the first time, 90s Mania promises a night of nostalgia, energy, and non-stop hits. So dust off those scrunchies, throw on your best 90s gear, and get ready to dance the night away.

Special April Offer: Kids Under 12 Go Free! Make it a family affair and introduce the next generation to the best decade in music history.

Don’t miss out on 90s Mania, the ultimate 90s music extravaganza hitting Durban soon! Stay tuned for ticket details and prepare for a night of pure retro fun!
