Sun
City Resort Complex
In the centre of a volcanic valley
surrounded by the slopes of the Pilanesberg mountains, a wilderness wonderland
rises from the dust. Shimmering in the African sun, the fantastic Sun
City Resort Complex could be mistaken for a mirage.
Rushing Waterfalls And A Sky Train

The dream began with a middle of
nowhere luxury hotel in the sun.
It soon evolved to include a second
sumptuous hotel, the Cascades, with a tropical garden, a flamingo lake lapping
the edge of the building, rushing waterfalls and a Sky Train which whisks
visitors between destinations within the resort.
Lost
City which

Then Sol Kerzner’s imagination looped
the loop in a defiant free fall and he built his ultimate fantasy – the
‘recreation’ of a Lost City which,
legend has it, was inhabited by gentle people of an ancient civilization.
The Lost City, complete with the
‘Shrine of the Sacred Monkey’, ruins of old temples, ancient carvings, grottos
– an illusion of some idyllic ancient civilisation rediscovered.
The Palace of the Lost City is
undoubtedly one of the architectural wonders of Africa. The African theme is
carried through every detail;
life size elephants, cheetahs hunting,
sable and springbuck, in combination with the Valley of the Waves and the
Bridge of Time.
Mosaic-İnlaid Floors And Towering

The Lost City has as its centre a ‘palace’ of
impossible opulence guarded by towering elephants lining an immense bridge;
it is ringed with man-made lakes
stocked with rare birds and fish, pools, forests and a tropical beach with
perfect surfing waves – electrically generated.
Lit with the glow of a million candles,
the Palace is decorated with Renaissance frescoes, hand-carved furniture,
mosaic-inlaid floors and towering columns of false tusks and palm fronds.
Ambience Of The Complex

The Sun
City Resort Complex is
one of the world’s largest adult entertainment centres, a luxury theme park for
grown-up kids.
Gaming on the casino tables, golfingon
its superb 18-hole course, watching boxing matches, attending performances by
some of the world’s most popular stars, lazing in the plush ambience of the
complex.
And when the day’s play is over, there
are beds for more than 2000 guests.
Pilanesberg
National Park

A vast entertainment area provides for
floor shows, slot machines, gaming tables – all on the edge of Pilanesberg
National Park.
For over a decade now, the huge Sun
City resort complex, which includes the Cascades Hotel, has been one of South Africa’s top tourist drawcards, a place to
gamble, a place to take in stage extravaganzas and a place to play – especially
golf on the superb Gary Player courses.
Two
Championship Golf Courses

Out of doors, two
championship golf courses –
one with crocodiles at the 13th hole – are bordered by the Pilanesberg National
Park (home to the ‘Big Five’) where a vigorous conservation programme has
resulted in more than 300 rhinos numbered among the 10,000 animals in the
reserve.
The 55,000 hectare park is the third
biggest game reserve in Southern Africa.
Game-viewing can be enjoyed from specially adapted four-wheel-drive vehicles,
or Kerzner-style, from the lazy heights of a hot-air balloon and followed by a
sumptuous bush breakfast.
