The dolphin show takes place in a special stadium at least twice a day. The show’s premise – how dolphins helped the great Zulu king, Shaka, get over the death of his mother – is ludicrous. But it doesn’t matter when Gambit and family are in action. They perform back flips, walk across the water, wave to the audience and even indulge in a spot of headbanging. They’re exceptionally cute – and fully deserve all the fish they keeping getting fed as they show off.
