One of the leading tourist attractions in Nelson Mandela Bay, Bayworld is unique in Southern Africa, embracing a natural and cultural history Museum combined with a Snake Park and Oceanarium, and a house museum at No. 7 Castle Hill. It is located in the heart of the Gqeberha beachfront and serves up a feast of edutainment to hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

The main activities of the Complex are research and education aimed at stimulating a greater awareness of the need for conservation of South Africa’s natural and cultural heritage. Research and education programmes focus on marine life, reptiles, maritime and local history.

Fun fact: the Bayworld Museum Snake Park is the oldest snake park in South Africa having opened its doors in 1919. We now have a vast collection of reptiles, tortoises, large crocodiles, pythons and deadly venomous snakes!

Apart from our research and educational and conservation programmes, Bayworld also partakes in numerous rehabilitations of stranded animals to nurse them back to health and release them back into the wild.
