Safari
Take a walk on the wild side - or a drive, a ride or a flight! The malaria-free Pilanesburg National Park is adjacent to Sun City and is a great introduction to safari for all the family. Home to the 'Big Five', and many more animals, it can be explored by Jeep, quad bike, elephant and horseback, or by hot air balloon. During your stay, why not contrast the animals you see on a day and night safari, and be amazed by the proximity and abundance of these wild animals?
Kids
The action-packed kids' programme at Sun City means it's a great holiday destination for the whole family. Kamp Kwena offers activities for children from 4-12 years, keeping them busy, stimulated and involved. To burn off all that energy there are trampolines, bumper boats, water tubes and mini-Olympics tournaments, and to keep their grey matter engaged, children can take part in nature walks, enjoy face painting and put on their own shows. For younger children, there are fully supervised crèche and babysitting facilities.
Golf
Play off the same tee as living legends, including Tiger Woods, at Sun City's 2 world-class golf courses - the Gary Player golf course and the Lost City golf course. The Gary Player course is home to the annual Nedbank Golf Challenge in Nov, the richest golf tournament in the world, and is located in an extinct volcano, while the 13th hole of the Lost City is home to 38 crocodiles! Both courses have just introduced state-of-the-art golf buggies - complete with sat nav!
