Sun City Holidays
Sun City is one of the top holiday destinations in South Africa, and offers a multitude of activities and entertainment for the whole family. Situated in the North West province, just 2 hours from Johannesburg, Sun City offers a playground full of world-class hotels, golf courses and nightlife. Regarded as the Las Vegas of Africa, Sun City was originally built in 1979 as a gambling mecca, but now that the laws have relaxed and gambling is no longer illegal, the resort has developed into more of an all-round entertainment centre, offering a unique fantasy-like oasis in the middle of the African Bush. 

Holidays in Sun City - A unique holiday playground, surrounded by the African Bush
Visitors to Sun City can choose from 4 hotels to stay in - from the affordable Sun City Resort and family-friendly Cabanas, to the 5 star Cascades, with its' abundant waterfalls and, the grandest of all, The Palace of the Lost City, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, boasting an air of opulence and luxury. Many guests just choose to relax at one of the pools and enjoy the wonderful sunshine (Sun City has year-round good weather) but the resort has plenty more to offer, with its' wide range of facilities, and there is plenty to keep guests busy, day or night. Sun City is home to The Valley of the Waves, a huge water-park with numerous rides and slides, a leisurely lazy-river, and a large lagoon with a wave machine. Extensive sports facilities at Sun City include golf on 2 championship courses, tennis, squash, bowling, archery, clay-pigeon shooting and ten-pin bowling. Guests can also rent mountain-bikes, quad-bikes, explore the jogging trails that run through the resort, or just while away the day at the world-class casino or health spa.
