Sun City Things to Do Tips by Mikebb Top 5 Page for this destination

Fish Frenzy At Waterworld

Take a walk down to waterworld where the jetties and boats are located and you will see these large fish lazing around in the lake. The highlight is when the cafe manager puts on a show for his patrons. He throws some bread scraps into the lake and turmoil breaks loose as the fish go on a rampage.

Worth the price of a coffee, or you can bring your own bread.

Address: Sun City Resort.

Directions: Down by the lake behine the Cabanas pool.

Animal Farm For The Small & Big Kids

The animal farm was very popular with young and old. It contained a South African farmyard with goats etc and had pathways where you could get up close to the animals. Nearby was the aviary where the birds pf prey, macaw and a variety of other birds were housed.

Address: Sun City Resort

Directions: In the grounds behind the Cabanas down by the Gary Player golf course and lake.

Wave Pool, Valley Of Waves Worth The Visit.

We were in Sun City late May and just in time to see the Wave Pool in operation as the next day it was to close down for winter. It is an amazing place and much larger than I imagined, a small ocean and beach in the middle of Africa, many hundreds of miles from the Ocean. The waves come up regularly, with sound, and it is like being at the beach.

With a background of the Palace on one side and lush forest and vegetation on other sides it really is something to see. Within the grounds and close to the pool are the Amphitheatre, Royal Bath,Observation Bar etc.

Kamp Kwena For The Kids

Just what every parent wants, somewhere for the kids to play and be supervised whilst you have a few hours for yourself. The supervised activity programme for all children aged 2 to 12 years is something most children appreciate.

Birds Of Prey Demonstration

We enjoyed this demonstration so much we attended on 2 afternoons for this 45 minute display. The handler explained the training and would let the various birds of prey free fly. Sometimes they would fly to a tree across the park but somehow he always got them to return. He told us the system works on a reward system and when the birds return to his gloved hand they are rewarded with some tasty food.

From the photos you will get an appreciation of how nice the Resort grounds are.

Displays are also held in the morning at 10am, afternoon, 3pm.

Address: Sun City Resort

Directions: Between the lake and Gary Player Golf Course, close to the animal farm. Directly behind the Sun City Hotel & Casino.
