The most majestic theme park in the country: Sun City.
Everyone deserves a good break, especially on a family holiday and Sun City theme park offers you a great chance to relax before starting your motorhome or 4x4 safari in the nearby Pilanesberg National Park.
Sun City is a vast entertainment complex that is popular with South African tourists. It combines casinos, golf courses, water parks, restaurants, theaters and crocodile farms, all set in an idyllic tropical scenery. In total it offers 25 hectares of leisure activities and relaxation.
Sun City is located 2 hours from Johannesburg and some compare it to Las Vegas (much smaller scale). It really is an unusual and unique place in the country, a modern entertainment oasis in a relatively wild area of South Africa. Enjoy and admire the sumptuous palaces, most notably the Palace of the Lost City. Also check the theatre shows. Very famous artists have performed in Sun City, an independent territory that defied Apartheid since 1979.
Sun City will not be the main destination of your South African journey but it is an interesting day trip that will delight young and old, especially if you include a few days in the nearby Pilanesberg National Park. Renting your vehicle in Johannesburg is a good starting point for Sun City.
