70 years of helping people to care for our ocean
Meet our Dolphins
Frodo

Is an Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphin. She is an excellent mother as she always keeps a watchful eye while allowing her calf to explore, learn and gain confidence. She has freckles on her tummy which make her easy to identify.

Gambit

Gambit  (1976 – 2020) was a true ocean ambassador.  He helped us share a message of marine conservation in a way that no human could.

Affrika

Is a pure-bred female Atlantic Ocean bottlenose dolphin. A marking that is specific to this sub-species is the dark stripe down her back. She loves her toys and doesn’t like to share them.

Khethiwe

Is one of the youngsters at uShaka Sea World. She was born on 25 November 2008. She is learning very quickly and loves to play. Her favourite activity at the moment is to stick her tongue out at people who walk past and her favourite toy is a blue-and-white basketball.
