Surfs up at the Valley of the Waves. and other Sun City, South Africa Things to Do Tips

A great way to get a bit of R 'n R at Sun City and to work on the tan, is to go and relax at the Valley of Waves adjacent to the Palace at the Lost City.

The wave pool, spits some nice waves for you to do a bit of body surfing, and the setting is of a fanatsy "Robinson Crusoe meets Dr Livingstone" theme.

There are various other activities here such as floating along the circular river on a tube, playing beach volleyball, sliding down water slides etc.

During holiday season there are often loads of entertainment options, parties etc.

For the guys there is plenty opportunity to do a bit of Bird Watching as well!!

A romantic balloon safari is another way to enjoy malaria free safari options.

The conditions for ballooning are perfect in the Pilanesberg National Park. The safari lasts approximately four hours and includes a game drive in and out of the park where you are bound to have at least one close encounter with a member of the Big Five.

There is also champagne on landing and a full English breakfast. As you float over South Africa on your balloon safari you could not be more free, nor ask for more perfect vacations with no malaria to worry about.

So why not do it style when you are at Sun City!!

For a wildlife adventure activity with a difference - take a trip on an elephant back into the Pilanesberg Game Reserve!!

You depart from the hotel to the ‘Elephant Wallow’ where you will meet the elephants and their handlers. After a welcoming drink and a brief talk, you will board the saddled elephants and enjoy an hour-long elephant ride, followed by light snacks and drinks before returning to Sun City.

It is a really awesome experience, if at first a bit daunting, but really worth while,

The Pilanesberg Game Reserve, in my opinion is one of the best for game viewing in South Africa.... well certainly out the ones I have visited anyway!!

The reserve is set in an extinct volcano and the diversity of landscapes as well as wildlife is amazing.

I have seen massive heards of elephants and buffalo, a few prides of lion and an abundance of white rhino. I have however not been fortunate enough to see the elusive leopard there.

I took a tour group there and we had a breakfast out in the middle of the bush, which is an excellent way to wake in Africa!!! You should also try and enjoy the night game drive with a braai (BBQ) in the bush as well.

Jump onto one of the quad bikes and explore a wildlife trail in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

Your Quad bike gives you the opportunity to view rhino, giraffe and other wildlife species while whooshing through the bush.

As experienced guides accompany you no previous quad biking experience is necessary to experience this exciting adventure.
