The Sun City Resort is a jewel in Sun International’s crown. Every year, millions of visitors are attracted to the lush green paradise, surrounded by a craggy mountain backdrop and the nearby 55 000-hectare Pilanesberg National Park stocked with Africa’s big five.
For bright lights and excitement, there is a colourful 24-hour casino with the latest slot machine technology and gaming tables of roulette, blackjack, poker, baccarat and punto banco, all in a Las Vegas-styled setting. The Sun City Casino was the first in South Africa to introduce the concept of million Rand jackpots.
For golfers, there are two 18-hole, Gary Player-designed world-class championship golf courses, both 72 par – the Gary Player Golf Course and the Lost City Golf Course, famous for the live Nile crocodiles on its 13th hole. The Gary Player Country Club also boasts a luxurious spa and gymnasium.
The magnificent gardens are an attraction on their own and have been accorded Botanical Garden status, varying from tropical rain forest to various indigenous landscapes. Guests can meander along paths in these differing forest habitats to view a wide range of bird and plant species.
Visitors can also view Africa’s big five at the adjacent Pilanesberg National Park, either from a Land Rover, on foot with a tracker, or from a scenic hot-air balloon flight at dawn.
