Sun City was a vision realized through a multi-million-dollar investment and one man's unshakable faith in the religion of tourism - South African hotel prodigy Sol Kerzner. His idea began with a middle-of-nowhere luxury hotel in the sun, and soon evolved to include a second hotel, tropical gardens, a flamingo lake, rushing waterfalls and more. Imagination looped the loop in a defiant free fall and he built his ultimate fantasy - the 'recreation' of the 'Lost City' which, legend has it, was inhabited by gentle people of an ancient civilization.
Sol Kerzner's Sun City is an enormous, extravagant and opulent complex of hotel, gaming rooms, theatres, restaurants, bars, discos and shops. Set in beautifully landscaped grounds, it is a mecca for local and international holiday-makers - each year some two million people visit this unusual and exciting inland resort.
Accommodation ranges from the family-orientated Cabanas and the original Sun City Hotel, to the luxurious Cascades and the magnificence of the Palace of the Lost City - the ultimate indulgence.

about Sun City
Sun City, ever popular with the golfing fraternity, is home to two championship golf courses - the splendid Arizona desert-style Lost City course where crocodiles lie in wait at the 13th hole, and the Gary Player Country Club, host venue of the annual Million Dollar Golf Challenge.
The Superbowl, a massive venue next door to the country club, is a regular host of international beauty pageants, world championship boxing events and spectacular concerts.
Other leisure activities offered at the resort include tenpin bowling, horse riding, lawn bowls, tennis and squash, parasailing, waterskiing, jetskiing, pedal bumper and motorised boating on the giant manmade lake at Waterworld, and the Valley of the Waves, and outdoor playground incorporating waterfalls, slides, river rides, a beach and an enormous surf pool with artificially generated waves.
Attractions worth visiting, include the Kwena Gardens, a 'prehistoric' reptile park and crocodile ranch, the South African Birds of Prey Centre where daily flight demonstrations take place, and the Botanical Gardens, where a variety of habitats have been established that include rainforests, wetlands and even coastal vegetation.
Sun City is on the southern fringe of the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park, which sustains the world's third largest white rhino population as well as the Big Five. This 580km2 park sprawls within four concentric mountain rings, relics of a 100 million year-old eroded volcano, with Mankwe Lake at its centre, rich in hippo and birdlife.
Morning and afternoon game drives into the Pilanesberg National Park, mountain biking and hot air balloon safaris are all easily arranged.
