101+ things to see and do in iconic Sun City
Sun City Resort celebrates its 45th anniversary this December with thrilling guests from around the world and continues to grow in popularity as an iconic fun destination with more than 101 attractions and activities.
The only surf and safari destination within a two-hour drive of landlocked Johannesburg, we stay up-to-date on the latest entertainment and sports, ensuring guests enjoy every moment of their vacation.
“No one gets to experience everything Suncity has to offer in one stay, which is why we have so many repeat customers and loyal customers,” said Brett Hoppe, Suncity General Manager. Masu.
Temple of Courage in the Valley of Waves
“The Valley of Waves offers equal parts adrenaline and adventure, welcoming thousands of guests each year to its palm-fringed white sand beaches. Those looking to relax can relax on a lounger or take a subway ride on the Lazy River. You can ride, but what gets your heart racing is the Temple of Courage slide, which is 17 meters high,” Hoppe said. Other adventurous water slides include the Diamond Mine, the underground Tarantula Tube, which echoes with screams of fear and joy, and the famous Roaring Lagoon, a 1.8-metre-high artificial wave that swimmers can ride.
At Chimp & Gee Rope Adventure Park, guests of all ages can view the trough of the waves from above as they traverse a tall obstacle course through the trees. Take on adventures with everything from high balance beams, speedy ziplines, and hanging spider nets to jungle rope bridges and more.
Adventurers can feel like Indiana Jones at Sun City's hidden gem, the Lost City maze. It is accessed via a 100-meter-long suspension bridge, offering spectacular views of the resort. The southern hemisphere's largest permanent maze is made of man-made stone and wood, creating the illusion of an ancient archaeological find. Finish your day with a cold craft beer at Maze Bar. If you're thirsty, take a shortcut.

Padel, a hybrid sport of squash and tennis, has spread its enthusiasm all over the world and has built a huge fan base. Sun City is one of the few hotels with four courts.
“We have shown once again that we understand what our visitors want and are always creating the latest and greatest entertainment for our guests,” Hoppe said. “Padel is known to be a very sociable and relaxing sport, making it a great addition to Suncity's list of activities.”
Ride a 250cc Suzuki quad bike and explore the adventurous trails of Lesatsing Game Park with an experienced guide and Mankwe Game Tracker to observe wildlife at eye level. We saw giraffes, zebras, bucks, wildebeest and more meandering through the bushes. “Adrenaline junkies should adopt a more sober approach to avoid the fear of speeding and sightings.”
You can also travel longer distances by taking a guided Segway tour around Sun City. Explore lakes and golf courses, or go off-road for a multi-terrain tour. “Traveling along this path requires you to concentrate on your surroundings, which means you might encounter some surprising things, like a squirrel running through the trees.”
Mankwe Game Tracker takes guests on an adventure in the ancient art of archery using modern equipment. Master the art of shooting a recurve bow under the supervision of an instructor.
To get your adrenaline pumping, ride Zip2000, one of the world's fastest, longest and tallest zip slides, located in Sun City. The average speed for 2 kilometers is 120 km/h, which is breathtaking. With solo and tandem slides available, this ride will appeal to even the most amateur adrenaline junkie. This experience is open to everyone from the age of 12. “So far, the oldest person to go down the slide is an 84-year-old Scottish woman,” Hoppe said.
After a busy day of adventure and adrenaline, bring your heart rate back to baseline with a relaxing body treatment or massage at one of Sun City's two spas.
Gary Player Health Spa and Beauty Salon, located at Gary Player Country Club, offers a variety of beauty treatments and products, a fully equipped gym, spa pool, and steam room.
