Ideas for Sun City winter activities

Escape the icy clutches of winter by heading to Sun City where the mild climate and great mid-winter and mid-week specials will instantly warm your heart.

Whether you are active and enjoy sports, are an adventurous adrenaline junkie, or just enjoy relaxing in nature, Sun City has an ideal experience for you this winter.

The dry winter months are best for game viewing so nature lovers can spot Africa’s big five – plus cheetah and wild dogs – at the adjacent Pilanesberg National Park. Experienced guides to take you on a Land Rover safari, or even a quad bike tour. For a truly extraordinary experience opt for the scenic hot-air balloon flight at sunrise.

The magnificent tropical gardens are also an attraction on their own and have been awarded Botanical Garden status, varying from tropical rain forest to various indigenous landscapes. Birders can meander along paths in these differing forest habitats to view a wide range of bird and plant species along with monkeys.

Keep active on the jogging trails or by playing on the floodlit tennis courts. For golfers, there are two 18-hole, Gary Player-designed world-class championship golf courses, both 72 par – the Gary Player Golf Course and The Lost City Golf Course, famous for the live Nile crocodiles on its 13th hole. The brave at heart can try an extreme adventure slide, alone or in tandem, at speeds of up to 120km per hour along a 2km long zip slide which stands 280m above the ground.
