Sun City

Sun City is one of South Africa’s most extravagant resorts, a sprawling leisure and hotel complex set amid the volcanic landscape of the Pilanesberg region. The resort is known for the Valley of Waves water park with its wave pool and water slides, its two golf courses, and the opulent Palace of the Lost City, which evokes the legend of a mythical lost African civilization through monumental architecture and lush gardens. One unusual feature is the Lost City Golf Course, where Nile crocodiles inhabit a water hazard at the 13th hole. Combining luxury hotels, entertainment, and leisure activities with easy access to Pilanesberg National Park, Sun City ranks among South Africa’s most distinctive destinations.
