5 Day Tour: Sun City
The amazing Sun City offers you the chance to experience the best of two worlds: The luxury of
Suncity, the internationally renowned Africa 's premier holiday resort and the amazing Pilanesberg National Park.
Suncity offers a variety of different entertainment and relaxation opportunities, as well as enough attractions and activities to keep everyone busy.
The fabulous Suncity resort complex entertains visitors with its combination of golf, game and gambling as well as world-class hotels. Formerly the gaming mecca of South Africa, Suncity still attracts those wishing to gamble but also those just wishing to relax, and the focus is now on the total experience of Africa.
Sun City is situated in the Pilanesberg National Park which covers some 55 000 hectare, is the fourth largest park in Southern Africa. The malaria-free park is perched on the eroded vestiges of an alkaline volcanic crater - one of only three such craters in the world.
The history of Pilanesberg National Park is also unique amongst national parks in Africa. Pilanesberg National Park's special features of rugged landscape, well-watered valleys and attractive dwelling sites have made it a preferred site for human settlement for thousands of years. This constituted the largest and most expensive game stocking and land rehabilitation project ever undertaken in any African game reserve at the time.

Handy Information
Toll roads
You will encounter toll roads on some of the national roads between major cities. They only accept SA Rands or credit cards. The prices normally vary between R2-50 and R46-00
Watch out for animals
In the wild out doors the animals roam free. This fact has led to very serious accidents, especially at night time, because they are difficult to see.
If you notice that the road are not fenced off, take special care for animals and also check the sides of the road as they have the tendency to suddenly jump or run into the road because the noise off the approaching vehicle and lights confuse them.
Keep left
In South Africa and neighbouring countries we drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the cars are right-hand drive.
Think metric
All distances, speed limits (and speedometers) are in kilometres.
Buckle up
The wearing of seat belts is compulsory.
Cellular phones and driving
Using hand-held phones while driving is against the law, unless you make use of a hands-free system
Speed limit
The general speed limit on national highways, urban freeways and other major routes is 120km/h (75mph). On secondary (rural) roads it is 100km/h (60mph). In built-up areas it is usually 60km/h (35mph) unless otherwise indicated. Watch out for and check the road signs.
Filling up
Our Land Rovers run on DIESEL. Please take special care that the filling station attendant does not put Petrol in the vehicle. It has happened many times before and will cause major inconveniences.
Inoculations
If you're an adult, you won't need any inoculations unless you're travelling from a yellow-fever endemic area (the yellow fever belt of Africa or South America), in which case you will need certification to prove your inoculation status when you arrive in South Africa. It is recommended that you have the required inoculations four to six weeks before you travel to South Africa (a yellow fever inoculation certificate only becomes valid 10 days after inoculation - after which it remains valid for 10 years).
Hepatitis B inoculations are recommended for children up to the age of 12 who have not completed the series of injections as infants.
Booster doses for tetanus and measles can also be administered
