Tour Example: 4-Day Sun City

Day 1
Arrive at OR Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg where you will be welcomed and transferred to the Sun City Resort. Stay at The Palace of the Lost City, or any of the other hotels in Sun City complex. Spend the remainder of the day exploring Sun City at leisure. Sun City, unique in the context of world resorts, with a combination of features unmatched anywhere, draws thousands of visitors each year to its four top-quality hotels, magnificent sporting and recreational facilities including two world class golf courses, and the magical Lost City water-park, the Valley of Waves. Situated in the bushveld of South Africa's North West Province, it is surrounded by the imposing mountains of the Pilanesberg. This world class resort is home to one of the Leading Hotels of the World, The Palace of the Lost City. 

Day 2
Play Lost City Course in the morning. For the remainder of the day you can opt to go on a game drive into the adjacent Pilanesberg National Park and spend the evening at leisure at Sun City’s Entertainment Centre, which includes casinos, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and cabarets. Pilanesberg Game Reserve is in the Bojanala Region of the North West Province, adjacent to Sun City. Set in the crater of a long extinct volcano, the park ranks among the largest of the parks in South Africa and covers an area of 55 000 hectare. The beauty of Pilanesberg is reflected in a large central lake, the Mankwe Dam. Over time, wind and water have carved a spectacular landscape with rocky outcrops, open grasslands, wooded valleys and thickets.

Day 3
Play Gary Player Course in the afternoon. An optional excursion during the morning is a Hot Air Balloon Safari where you'll be collected at the hotel and taken through the Pilanesberg National Park to rendezvous with the balloon crew. The flight is approximately an hour's duration and on landing sparkling wine is served. A guided safari is then taken through the park to a game lodge where breakfast is served, after which you'll be returned to the hotel.

Day 4
Check out after breakfast and transfer to OR Tambo International for your onward flight.

MORE: You can add value to this tour by extending you holiday at Sun City and/or spending some time at the Madikwe Game Reserve – this is the land of Herman Charles Bosman. The 75 000 ha ‘Malaria Free’  Madikwe Game Reserve is situated in the far north of the North West Province of South Africa, adjacent to the Botswana border. Three hours drive from Pretoria or Johannesburg, and about two from Sun City, it is now one of South Africa's prime wildlife safari destinations. The reserve consists of vast plains of open woodlands and grasslands, dissected by the rugged Rant van Tweedepoort, and bordered in the south by the Dwarsberg Mountains. The area is dotted with huge rocky hills or inselbergs. The entire reserve has been enclosed in a perimeter fence that has been electrified to prevent the escape of elephant and the larger predators. Guests are taken on conducted day and night game drives, very much along the same lines as those lodges in the Sabi Sands Reserve (as examined in our 4-day Kruger Park Tour). Excellent accommodation is available at various private lodges in the reserve. There are no day visitor facilities; only residents at a lodge may enter the reserve.

Madikwe Game Reserve is home to about sixty six large mammal species, including the Big Five - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino, as well as cheetah and wild dog. The area has approximately 300 resident and migrant bird species along with a wide diversity of other fauna. It is one of South Africa's largest game reserves and has the distinction of being one of the few game reserves in the world to be proclaimed purely on the grounds of being the most appropriate and sustainable land use for an area. 

From here why not go just slightly north of Madikwe into the independent country of Botswana and stay and play golf at the Phakalane Golf Estate, which is under two hours drive from Madikwe.

Another option is the delightful Marataba Lodge, situated in the Marakele National Park. This luxurious game lodge reflects Africa’s ancient wisdom and culture, the glorious forms and colour presenting a vibrant haven at the epicentre of modern design. Enter a sanctuary of mystery in harmony with the energy of nature and the environment, built of indigenous stone, timber, sand and soil, enhanced by murmuring waters and vast vistas liberated by glass walls.

Inspired by the discovery of primeval ruins, Marataba embraces both the contemporary and the ancient in an exciting union of innovative architecture, design and technology, paying tribute to, and confirming, the concept of the African Renaissance. Lulled by the heartbeat of the bushveld, awed by towering mountains, enthralled by the abundance of wildlife, secure and sensually nurtured in the indulgent atmosphere, live your dreams of safari at Marataba, the place where the plains touch the mountains. Marataba Lodge is a member of Relais & Chateaux, which offer high standards of accommodation, cuisine and service.

Or, for the piece de resistance – the Legend Golf and Safari Resort at Entabeni. It is one of the world's most eagerly anticipated Golf and Safari resort openings. Now Africa's most talked about leisure venue is unlocking the gates to its majestic monumental architectural Gate House and inviting golf and safari enthusiasts to take the golf experience of a lifetime. It's home to the unique “world-in-one” Signature Course where each of the 18 holes has been designed by a world golfing legend including Trevor Immelman, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, KJ Choi, Jim Furyk and Retief Goosen.

In addition, you can take the challenge of the world's most talked about extreme Par 3, the Extreme 19th. Set high up on the impressive Hanglip Mountain, the hole is accessible only by helicopter and played to a green the shape of Africa some 400m below. This is beyond comparison! The 22 000 hectare malaria-free Entabeni Safari Conservancy in SA’s Limpopo Province, is situated within the greater “Waterberg Biosphere”. Entabeni features five eco-systems, spectacular scenery and diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five. Various game viewing activities, helicopter flights, stargazing, wellness treatments, food and cultural experiences are offered at Entabeni.
