Entertainment

The Valley of Waves water park offers family-friendly water activities appealing to guests of all ages. It features attractions such as the Roaring Lagoon - a 6,500 m² pool  with 2-meter high waves generated every 90 seconds, the Temple of Courage which offers an adrenalin rush with a an almost vertical 70-metre slide ending with a splash into a small pool, the Lazy River with a gentle tube ride around an island, and the Royal Baths swimming pool as a place to soak up warm sun rays while sipping a cocktail.

Golfing addicts have a choice of two different golfing experiences. One of the leading South African golf courses, the Gary Player Golf Course, is an 18-hole par-72 walking-only championship course, while the Lost City Golf Course offers a 72-par, 18-hole desert-style course with a water hazard at Hole 13, home to live Nile crocodiles.

A visit to the Motseng Cultural Village, situated within the Resort, is a great way to experience the country’s rich and diverse culture. You'll get introduced to eight main tribes and learn about their history, customs and a way of life. Alternatively, go on a safari in nearby Pilanesberg National Park which stretches over 55,000 hectares and is home to the Big 5.

And in the evenings? Spend the night away at Encore, a slick new club with a live DJ, play pool and enjoy a drink at Vibes, a sports bar and Sun City's hottest hangout,  or visit Gentleman's Bar for some exotic entertainment. Sun City Resort is also known for hosting some of the most iconic South African events, such as the Miss South Africa beauty pageant and the annual Nedbank Golf Challenge.
