What you'll see

Sun City is a magnificent resort situated about 2 hours drive from Johannesburg. Bordering onto the Pilanesberg National Park (where you can see the Big Five, Lions, Elephant, Rhinoceros, Leopard and Buffalo), Sun City is an experience that you shouldn’t miss!

From the most luxurious “Palace of the Lost City” hotel to the much more reasonably priced Cascades, there is a great time to be had at this entertainment centre.

At Sun City you can have a truly African Safari experience, play golf at three of the best courses in the world and laze in the sun on the beach at the “Valley of the Waves”.

The Sun City theme park in the North West province is part of the Sun City resort and entertainment complex, offering a myriad of leisure and recreation options for the entire family. Stay a day or week – you will never be bored.

An iconic complex known worldwide for its exotic entertainment options, the Sun City Theme Park is more a mini-city than park, boasting so many attractions and entertainment options that first-time visitors may find it all a little bewildering.

Located in the North West province, under 200km from the major urban centres of Johannesburg and Pretoria, the Sun City entertainment park enthrals all with its over-the-top African theme and myriad entertainment options.

Far enough from South Africa’s major cities to qualify as a real getaway from rigid city life, but close enough to make transport to and fro effortless, the theme park in Sun City is the ultimate all-in-one entertainment destination.

Activities at the Sun City theme park run the gamut from adventure sports and safari options to a world-famous golf course and a wide variety of rides and games to keep the children happily busy.

Dad will probably want to swing his clubs at the Gary Player Country Club, home to the famed Million Dollar golf tournament. Mom may want to relax in the sun poolside at the Valley of the Waves while the kids go screaming down one of the water park’s many thrilling slides.

Adults can take in a revue or live music show, or simply enjoy a meal at one of the many award-winning restaurants.

Kamp Kwena, an activity park for children where they can learn, play and make new friends, will keep lively little minds well occupied. Mini-cars, trampolines, adventure golf and more ensures that the kids do not miss their parents too much.

Sun City is not just a hotel or an entertainment complex or even just a theme park; it’s an experience.
