South Africa promotes itself as a "world in one country". Considering the varied scenery, mild climate and diversity of peoples and cultures, this is no idle boast.

Sun City

Legend has it that once upon a time a tribe wandered down from the northern part of Africa and settled on a volcano in South Africa. Here they built a citadel called 'The Valley of the Sun. It is said that the Sun City of today, inspired by Disney, is built on the foundations of that old citadel. It 's a magical playground peopled with fun-lovers. Play golf, water ski on artificial lakes and feel the ambience of a rain forest in this man-made version of the real thing. Sun City has four big hotels, one of which is The Palace, the very best of luxury hotels. The pivotal point of this place is the casino, surrounded by the very best of restaurants, bars and a concert hall.

The Lost City is found in front of The Palace but the residents of all the other hotels are welcome there. An electric train and special buses connect all facilities, but everything is within ten minutes walking distance from everything else. There are two international class golf courses, several tennis courts, swimming pools and a man-made lake. The exciting Pilanesberg National Park is nearby. In the make-believe world of Sun City, you will enjoy a cartoon version of what Africa looked like hundreds of years ago, before the first settlers arrived over two hundred years ago.
