Top tips/recommended tours

Valley of the Waves: This waterpark is the most advanced waterpark in South Africa and provides hours of fun for children and the young at heart. A large lagoon dominates the scene with a wave machine capable of generating 1.8 metre waves every 90 seconds. It has five exciting flume rides, including the Temple of Courage, where swimmers drop a scary 17 metres down a shute and under a bridge before splashing into a small pool at the foot of the slide!

  

Waterworld: Adrenaline junkies will enjoy the action-packed watersports in Sun City’s huge man made lake offering everything from jet-skiing and parasailing to water-skiing and paddleboats.
Pilanesberg National Park: This nature reserve sits in the crater of a long extinct 1, 200 million year old volcano. There are plenty opportunities to see the “Big 5” in their natural habitat – you can take a jeep with an experienced ranger or why not go by elephant back for a truly unique experience?
