Pilanesberg
Explore the Pilansberg area and experience two extreme holidays from gambling to game drives. Close to Johannesburg and Sun City, the Pilanesberg has the highest density and greatest variety of animals in South Africa. View the Big Five, over 7 000 head of game and 350 birds species while exploring the 550 square km of The Pilanesberg National Park. Millions of years ago a volcano erupted and made the Pilansberg mountains with undulating hills.
The reserve was formed from the purchase and repair of cattle farms in 1969 and Operation Genesis brought in nearly 6 000 animals of 19 different species. This game translocation makes an interesting drive through the network of good roads in Pilansberg National Park. Combine your Safari with some Sun City, South Africa's premier resort complex that offers everything luxurious for holiday makers. Join a tour or get Lost on your own when exploring South Africa's version of Las Vegas which caters for over 2000 guests in four world-class hotels including the opulent Palace of the Lost City with the 'Shrine of the Sacred Monkey', ruins of old temples and ancient carvings.
The Palace of the Lost City is undoubtedly one of the architectural wonders of Africa with an enormous adult entertainment centre containing a luxury theme park, casinos, theatres and the Valley of the Waves. The Valley of the Waves at the Lost City offers a gigantic man-made beach so that you can go from a game viewing drive to watching humans swimming and sun bathing.
