In the last century, the Pilansberg served as a sanctuary of a different kind – Mzilikazi’s rebel Zulu warriors passed through the area as they fled the wrath of Chaka.  Not long after this, during the Anglo-Boer war, General Christiaan de Wet’s hid from the British amongst these same hills.

Deep in this rugged bushveld, in the heart of an ancient volcano, lies the world's most unique resort. Sun City Resort has a unique heartbeat and an African rhythm of its own and is unlike any other Resort destination in the world. This is pure fantasy and your every desire is met.

Sun City has two incredible world-class golf courses set against the rugged backdrop of the Pilanesberg mountain-scape in the North West region. Sun City’s two, par-72 championship golf courses offer visitors to Southern Africa’s premier resort an exciting and challenging golfing experience.

This African fantasy-world immerses visitors in the atmosphere of an ancient and exotic civilisation.  Far from the sea, yet a beach paradise, the Valley of Waves is a main feature of Sun City!  Plunge down thrilling water chutes – both open air and subterranean – or bob around on The Lazy River Ride. Tan and relax on a gentle sloping palm-fringed beach while sipping ice cold drinks under the hot African sun.  Adventure Mountain is tailor-made just for kids – a safe environment where they can play on the waterslides and frolic in the pools. Discover the Lost City: Entertainment Centre where fun awaits young and old alike – video games, restaurants, movies, adult and teenage nightclubs, bingo.....the action never stops!

Guests of Sun City can enjoy personalised game viewing at the nearby 55 000-hectare Pilanesberg National Park.
