  • The wave pool is heaps of fun and probably is the best activity for the whole family. Its a man made lagoon were waves are created by water being sucked into huge hoppers and the released to create a wave. The size of the waves vary between 3 - 8 feet and are ideal for body surfing.

    A kiosk selling drinks and food is available and umbrellas can be hired from the wave pool shop.

  • There are two slides called the Scorpion and the Tarantula, they are designed for those who do not wish to be brave to tackle the tube rides. There is a safe swimming pool which one lands in after swirling through tunnels and corridors. Its a great way to have fun with the family.

    The tubes are designed for those who have NO FEAR ! The slide drops 15meters into a chute and is called the Temple of Courage for obvious reasons.

  • The adventure mountain is designed for children who are not allowed to use the slides due to a height regulation. There is a mini slide and a good size splash pool and different monuments of elephants and other animals to keep the young ones entertained.

    Watch out for the monkeys which love to steal your bananas or food.

  • The Palace of The Lost City is surrounded by a 25 hectare botanical jungle with thousands of plants, trees and shrubs. Most I can identify because Sth Africa has almost the same plants as Australia.

    The gardens are threaded with paths meandering past cascades and waterfalls, lakes and pools and a variety of water rides. It is set next door, in the spark ruggedness of the Pilanesberg National Park, where elephants, rhinos, lions, and antelope roam freely through their natural habitats. It’s supposed to be the seventh wonder of the world, I can uderstand why they say that, because it is so incredible, amazing and wonderful.
