THREE of the highest slides at uShaka Marine World’s Wet ’n Wild are set to undergo essential maintenance work along with the rest in May, temporarily forcing the closure of the popular waterpark.

The critical maintenance and refurbishment work will be undertaken from Monday, May 4, until Saturday, May 23. eThekwini Municipality spokesperson Gugu Sisilana said the three weeks maintenance programme was planned for the low season in order to minimise disruption to visitors.

“The work will prioritise several key attractions, including the Waterpark’s three highest slides, the popular 5‑Lane Racer slides, as well as the resurfacing of multiple pools throughout the facility,” said Sisilana.

While the work continues at the waterpark, other attractions within uShaka Marine World will remain fully operational.  These include Sea World, Kids World, Sea Animal Encounters, and Dangerous Creatures, ensuring guests can still enjoy a wide range of experiences while maintenance is underway.

“Visitors and stakeholders are kindly encouraged to take note of the closure dates and plan their visits accordingly to avoid disappointment,” said Sisilana.

“uShaka Marine World apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks all guests for their understanding and continued support as the facility undergoes these essential improvements,” added Sisilana.
