Sibaya Entertainment Kingdom

Driving from the uShaka International Airport to Durban along the coastal (Umhlanga) road, the African themed Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom is visible on the hillside.

Die Amfiteater se muur staan oor die 5 kilometer lank en is omtrent 1,220 meter hoog oor sy hele lengte.
