Plans have been revealed to build a large-scale theme park in the KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa.

Pam Golding Hospitality has been appointed to conduct a feasibility study on the resort, which aims to attract both domestic and international guests.

Plans include two separate parks, one themed with cultural aspects of the local Zulu tribe an the other portraying African wildlife.

If a planning permission is granted, the park, which is estimated to cost around R15.5bn (US$2bn, £1.1bn, 1.4bn euro), could open in time for the 2014 season.
