A Water Wonderland
The Valley of Waves, Sun City’s aquatic paradise, boasts white sandy beaches fringed by palm trees and adrenaline-pumping water slides. Daredevils can conquer the Temple of Courage, a 17-meter drop guaranteed to get hearts racing. For those seeking a gentler pace, the Lazy River offers a soothing tube ride. Families can ride the Roaring Lagoon, with its 1.8-meter-high waves, while adventure lovers can brave the Diamond Mine and Tarantula slides.
The Padel Craze
Adding a modern twist to its repertoire, Sun City has introduced padel, a hybrid of squash and tennis that has taken the world by storm. With four state-of-the-art courts, guests can enjoy this social and relaxed sport against the stunning backdrop of the resort.
“Once again, we’ve shown that we understand what visitors want,” says Brett Hoppé, General Manager of Sun City. “Padel is the perfect addition to our list of activities, blending fun and fitness in a way that appeals to everyone.”
Thrills on Wheels
Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the wild side of Sun City with Mankwe Gametrackers. Hop onto a 250cc Suzuki quad bike and traverse the scenic Letsatsing Game Park, spotting wildlife like giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest under the guidance of experienced trackers. For a more relaxed exploration, guided Segway tours offer multi-terrain adventures, whether on the golf course, around the lake, or off-road.
Sky-High Adventures
For thrill-seekers, the Zip2000 promises breathtaking excitement. Recognized as one of the world’s fastest and longest zip slides, it reaches speeds of up to 120 km/h over a two-kilometer stretch. Suitable for ages 12 and up, this ride is for solo adventurers and tandem duos alike.
At the Chimp & Zee Rope Adventure Park, visitors can take their adventure to new heights with elevated obstacle courses offering views of the Valley of Waves. Expect rope bridges, hanging nets, and zip lines for a tree-top thrill like no other.
Step Back in Time
Channel your inner Indiana Jones at the Maze of the Lost City, the largest permanent maze in the Southern Hemisphere. After navigating its winding paths and enjoying breathtaking views from a 100-meter suspension bridge, reward yourself with a craft beer at the Maze Bar.
Pure Indulgence
After a day of action, Sun City’s two spas provide the ultimate relaxation. The Gary Player Health Spa offers a range of treatments, a gym, and steam rooms, while The Royal Spa at The Palace of the Lost City pampers guests with award-winning aesthetic and beauty services.
