Madikwe Game Reserve
One of South Africa's largest reserves, Madikwe Game Reserve is situated a 90-minute drive from Sun City.
The reserve’s rolling plains and woodlands bordered by rugged mountains provide a safe haven for all of the Big 5 plus cheetah, spotted hyena, giraffe, hippo, zebra and a wide variety of antelope.
The reserve is malaria-free, making it ideal for family safari before or after a holiday at the resort.
Pilanesberg National Park
Game drives depart from Sun City to this malaria-free, 55 000 hectare game reserve.
Famous for its sightings of the Big 5 - which are elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino and leopard - the Pilanesberg National Park is adjacent to the resort and offers first-time safari-goers and families a highly recommended introduction to game viewing.
Kwena Gardens Crocodile Sanctuary
The Kwena Gardens Crocodile Sanctuary is located near the entrance to the resort. Home to over 300 Nile crocodiles and the two largest captive crocodiles in the world, the sanctuary offers a fascinating activity for the whole family.
Cultural Village
South Africa is home to many different tribes, each with distinct songs, dances, traditional dress and cuisine. The Cultural Village offers visitors a taste of rural life in an African village and provides local artisans an opportunity to showcase their art and crafts.
