Amazing calm place with beautiful music to spend the day with family or friends.Very safe, clean and well managed and taken care of.You get free access when you are booked in one of the hotels inside suncity, there is also loads of activity to do there for kids and adults.Buses run throughout the day transporting guests from hotels to attraction places and activities.Looking forward to my next visit to SA.
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Valley of Waves at Sun City and happily give it five stars. The atmosphere is vibrant and relaxing, with a perfect mix of fun, excitement, and a tropical beach feel right in the heart of the resort. The wave pool is absolutely thrilling and makes you feel like you’re by the ocean, while the slides and rides cater for both adrenaline seekers and families. The area is clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by stunning scenery, which makes it a great spot to spend the whole day. Service and facilities were excellent, adding to the overall experience. A must-visit for anyone going to Sun City!
This place is nice and beautifully. You can enjoy the place with kids and family. At Valley of waves you can do a lot of aqua activities such as sliding, tube, lazy river🤗 You can have your snacks. You must go early so you can enjoy until 5pm. I recommend.
From entering Sun City resort we've experienced a warm and kind welcome. Preparing our own food at our unit at the vacation club to going to the valley of the waves, walking through the maze and reach the roof bar with spectacular views and enjoying a lovely sundowner, to playing ten pin bowling and just chilling at the Gary Player Golf club restaurant and enjoying a coffee with blue crane 396 come flipping its wings right in front of us, it was a very memorable time with family and friends here. Most definitely one of my wow moments here. Thank you to all the friendly staff amd to all the bus drivers that took us to and fro and never complaining to drive the same route day in and out. You do deserve an extra star for keeping the good work up.
This place is incredible! Beautifully set up with a real tropical holiday vibe — palm trees, sandy beach, and those amazing waves in the Roaring Lagoon! The slides and lazy river keep the kids busy for hours, while adults can relax and enjoy the atmosphere. A fantastic family day out. Highly recommended!
Valley of Waves was breath taking, as a first timer. The Security and Lifeguards all very friendly and polite. My kids had a blast in the water and sun. It’s very clean and the water is very clean as well. My kids enjoyed the super tubes the line wasn’t long when we were there. Thank you, Vally of Waves, for the experience.
Had my mom's birthday at the Valley of the Waves. The whole family loved the experience and we will carry the memories for a lifetime. It did rain but we were able to wait it out by dining in the EC areas.
Beautiful place to visit. We really enjoyed. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Incredible Morning Game Drive at Pilanesberg We went on the morning safari in July and had to be at Sun Central by 6:15 a.m. — absolutely freezing, full-on winter, but so worth it! Despite the cold, the experience was unforgettable. We spotted elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, impalas, bulls, and even a lion in the distance. One of the most surreal sights was the “smoking rivers” in the early morning mist — pure bliss. The guides were knowledgeable and engaging, making the whole drive even more special. Tip: Dress warmly, bring gloves, and don’t miss the sunrise over the bush — it's truly magical.
Our visit to the park proved to be a truly remarkable and unforgettable experience. Despite the anticipated odds of encountering the "big five," the wildlife we observed brought us immense joy and satisfaction. We were fortunate enough to witness a variety of animals, including a lioness, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, elephants, zebras, warthogs, and even a crocodile. The entire experience was simply amazing. Furthermore, our transportation was expertly handled by Bruno, the tour driver from the transport company, who ensured our comfort and convenience from our hotel and back. Considering the comprehensive nature of the experience, it was undoubtedly worthwhile, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. We made our reservation through the national park's official website.
A fantastic experience in the wilderness. Thanks to our tour guide Martin, we were able to see many different animals – large and small, flying, swimming, and walking. Martin does his job with heart, love, and expertise. Thank you for an unforgettable safari. <->
If you a looking for a quiet, peaceful and relaxing activity over the weekend this is the place. The only con is the potholes but understandable considering the type of environment and even an entry level hatchback is able to handle both the tar and gravel road. The entrance fee is also reasonable for someone looking for budget friendly things to do
One of the best experiences in my life. We were very lucky and saw nearly every animal, it was super cool! The guide, who told us to call him T., was an incredibly skilled and experienced person, who knew all the habits of local animal and informdd us about them while prioritizing our safety.
Excellent game reserver. We had a wonderful time seeing 100s of elephants, White Rhino, Wildebeest, impala, kudu, water buck, girraffe, hippos, warthogs, meercat, zebra and more. The Pilanesberg Center is really a great restaurant, you must try there hamburgers. The only negative was the bad main tar roads but getting off these roads onto the gravel road allows you to see a huge variety of game. The other negative is the angry male bulls walking in the roads towards the late afternoon chasing the cars, utas nit a nice experience. All in all we really had a wonderful time and saw ample game, over 11 species multiple times and two of the Big Five. Thsnk you Pilanesberg Game reserve, we will be back.
Beautiful views. You can get good sightings of Rhinos, Elephants, Giraffes, & Antelopes. Only lucky ones get to see the big cats, chances are pretty less. Nice lunch offered by MoAfrika tours.
Access to the park is via terrible roads with potholes and little signage. The Bakgatla gate to the park had no WiFi, so I could get in for free. Some of the surfaced roads in the park have many potholes so it's best to drive slowly as one should. I had a great time on just one day with many brilliant sightings of Rhino and elephants. The hide at Malatse dam is a must for birders. At Mankwe dam I saw elephants swimming across from one side to the other which was totally amazing.

A place where you can see these massive creatures up close. You can also experience holding the baby crocodiles under the expert's supervision. You get to learn fun facts about the lifestyle of these long surviving creatures.
I loved visiting this sanctuary. The staff was so friendly. Ask for a tour guide and they will tell you many interesting facts. You are very close to the crocidles and will see over 100!!! The feeding time is at 4:30 pm. They will show you how the crocidles hunt for food and how they jump out of water !! Definitely stop by here !!
Value for money experience, with friendly and informative staff to guide and teach about the crocodile life. You will get to see the feeding, the young ones and the oldest which is 93 years old today. Learn about their movements, speed in and out of the water and how long can they survive without food in and out of the water.
Before get inside Sun City, we should spend a little bit of time, visiting the Crocodile Sanctuary. We’ll be able to see from the big ones thru the very small. You can even ask to pick one of the little. Ask for Arnold, the oldest and biggest crocodile there.
Please make sure to be there at feeding time. You will learn a lot and see a great personal tour. Please also tip for the great work. :)
It's awesome to see thoos crocs, the second biggest on the planet and so close by. And the guide was giving good information and how he handled the animals. Respect
Ronny is an awesome tour guide, the staff inside the sanctuary are very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth going to the feeding tour to see how the crocs move and interact!
Quite interesting to learn more about the Nile Crocodile, especially Arnold the oldest and Undertaker the charmer🤣

Sun City is a city you cant forget in a heartbeat, its a world within a #city filled with adventure, quests, fun... very intriging!!! There is a lot to see, eat and do from golfing to hiking to safari to gambling to restaurants to opera to theatre to shopping there is something for everyone! I'm super scared of heights but I decided to take a bold step and face my fear, I went on the swing bridge...it wasn't easy but a went all the way. You are surrounded by rocks, rusty serene, flowers, brown earth, trees in a nutshell nature at it's best. The swing is very safe, you won't fall... at the end of the maze you will be rewarded with beer tasting and cool nuts! This is an adventure you wanna embark on, you won't forget it in a heartbeat! I recommend Sun City for your next trip! Life is fun!!! Enjoy every bit of it 😎😎
The maze is a really underrated part of Sun City. It’s built extremely well and poses a real challenge! You should expect to take at least 20 minutes to get through it. However, it’s very rewarding to get to the end and get your complimentary drinks. If you sit upstairs at the bar, there is a fantastic view across Sun City and of the Palace. Definitely recommend!
This was really a fun activity. We were actually lost in the maze at first, but we found our way after the second attempt 🤣. It was so much fun that we will definitely do it again!
Great activity for the entire family. If you get overwhelmed and can't find your way out there is a quick exit. The bar at the end of the maze is a great reward. The bar offers a wide variety of beers, the beer tasting is a good option. Will recommend that this activity be done early morning or later afternoon as there is no shade in the maze itself.
Had a lot of fun in the maze. It's amazing how you can laugh with strangers in there. Afterwards, we cheated and chose the quick route to finish the maze, too frustrating trying to find the right way. At the end of the maze was beer tasting. Great view of Sun City from there. I can imagine this could be a good venue for special occasions done the seating areas are covered.
Although the are many benefits to going to Sun City when it's off peak. The maze would have been more fun had there been more people around. The bar was empty but definitely with the right crowd could have been amazing. Beautiful view from above the bar. The beer tasting at the end of the maze was a lovely treat.
Give it a skip. Nothing interesting to be honest. To begin with there’s a wooden see through bridge that you need to cross to reach the entrance of the maze. Secondly the maze is located on the top of the hill so you need to walk some steep slopes and once you reach the spot... all you want is some good adventure. But it disappoints. The maze is not that confusing put it simply. You have to get yourself lost and that’s how you feel some excitement. At the end there’s a restaurant which again is not the exit. The entrance and exit are at the same place. Not worth it in my view
I bit Pricey just to go walk in a maze that only took 3 mins to get through. Then having to pay R50 for a beer at the end.

Balloon Rides
Slide 1 of 8
We went on the hot air balloon ride at Pilanesberg, overall we can only say WOW! Our guide Promise, delivered, as his name states, was a delight to drive with him, he knows alot about all the animals, gave ample opportunity to photograph them while sharing his knowledge about them with us. The hot air balloon ride was a blast, saw loads of animals from above, a once in a lifetime experience! The breakfast at the lodge afterwards were amazing and finding a maroela tree with ripe fruit were a bonus! Overall booking and experiencing an exciting trip with Mankwe was a delight, giving them a 11 out of 10.
When we got back from our game drive with Mankwe Gametrackers, we were all still buzzing from the experience. It was, without a doubt, the absolute highlight of our trip to Sun City. We had hoped to see some animals, but we never expected to have such an incredible run of luck! We turned a corner and there was a majestic giraffe, just calmly nibbling on the leaves of an acacia tree. Not long after, we came across a whole herd of antelope gracefully moving through the grasslands. The real heart-pounding moment came when our guide spotted a lioness resting in the shade -- and then we saw her cute cubs nearby! It was breathtaking to see them so calm and powerful in their own habitat. We also visited a waterhole where a pod of hippos was lazily wallowing, grunting and splashing about, and to top it all off, we were even fortunate enough to spot a rhino in the distance---a truly special and humbling sight. None of this would have been the same without our fantastic game ranger, Nicky. She wasn't just a driver; she was a storyteller and an encyclopedia of knowledge! She could read the landscape like a book, pointing out tracks and signs we would have completely missed. She taught us so much about the animals' behaviour, from why giraffes have such long tongues to how lion prides are structured. Her passion for the bush and its inhabitants was infectious and made every sighting feel like a privilege. If you have the chance to do a game drive, do it. And if you're lucky enough to get Nicky as your guide, you're in for a truly educational and unforgettable adventure.
What a fun game drive we had. Not only did we manage to see the big 5. We had such close encounters with a pride of lions. Rhino and elephants. Our tour guy Promis was so much fun. Kept us smiling. And went out of his was to show us as much as we could in a 2hour tour. Thank you so very much. Made our trip from Cape Town worth while.
We had a great flight with very experienced pilots. Pilanesberg is beautiful, we'll definitely do the hot air balloon again
Fantastic we had a phenomenal day. We saw a lioness and her cubs, cheetah and a cub, white rhinoceros, giraffe, hippopotamus, warthogs, elephant etc. Our guide was informative and very friendly. They had complimentary coffee, tea and some muffins and cookies. This was a flawless game drive from the operators side. They also accommodated the wheelchair guest. Just a note if you like to take in the ambience of the African bush consider paying abit more for a private experience because there was a lady from another party that did not keep quiet for one minute in the 3 hour drive telling her life story and being disruptive. However due to the majesty of the African landscape we could manage to tolerate her constant talking. We will be back for another game drive next week. Thank you for this amazing experience, words fail to express how wonderful it was.
Had a fabulous 6 hour game drive including lunch at Pilanesberg with our guide Sappo who was so informative, went out of his way and didn’t fail to deliver sightings of the game we were looking forward to seeing. What a fantastic experience to see a young Cheetah up close and then spent a long time viewing a leopard watching and waiting from his hideout in a tree. I would really recommend this day and our driver Seppo.
Our quad biking adventure was nothing short of amazing! Each group is assigned an instructor, so we got to ride together as a family. The instructors were not only patient but also prioritized safety, ensuring we had a thrilling yet secure experience. The added bonus of spotting game during the ride added a unique touch to the adventure. Special kudos to our instructor for capturing incredible pictures, preserving the memories of our fantastic day. Highly recommend this experience for both the adrenaline rush and the unforgettable moments!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Mankwe Gametrackers! The safari and hot air balloon ride were incredible—everything was well-organized, enjoyable, and seamless. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help, making the experience even more special. A big thank you to Japie and Thato (aka TT) for their exceptional service—you truly went above and beyond! One suggestion: it would be great if arrangements could be made with nearby resorts to offer special accommodation rates for the hot air balloon experience. Checking in late (around 5-6 PM) and leaving at 3 AM for the ride, while paying full fees, feels steep. It would be wonderful if there were discounted rates, especially for South African guests. Thank you again for a fantastic adventure! We'll definitely be back! 🌟

Superb location..a variety of activities available, money talks here☺️😌
It was a fantastic experience. The gents were so professional and explained everything so simply. Riding a jetski after the practice round was a breeze. Really memorable
Very peaceful and well maintained. Perfect view of the mini waterfall and dam. There's a lot of space to run around/play. You cannot bring your own food though. But otherwise, thumbs up. Great Experience.
Great fun and prices are fair people are friendly and professional. Located at the bottom of cabanas hotel there is also a child minding service in the same place just a short distance from water world
Great service, slightly pricy but in my opinion, it is well worth it. Had a great time on the jet skis and the guys assisting are very friendly and helpful.
Awesome activities! Staff is friendly and courteous. Enjoyed the Jet Skis, Para sailing and the tube rides. A must when in Sun City
I took my five and a half year daughter on her first ever jet ski ride, she (and of course I) thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff were all friendly, helpful and ensured the correct safety measures were followed (by all present)

I recently had the opportunity to play at the Lost City Golf Course in Sun City, and I was blown away by the experience! As a beginner, I was a bit nervous, but the course was more forgiving than I expected. The scenery is breathtaking, with stunning views of the African bushveld. The course is well-marked, making it easy to navigate, even for a newcomer like me. The staff were friendly and helpful. I was accompanied by people offering valuable tips and advice to help me improve my game. The facilities, including the clubhouse and pro shop, were top-notch. Sun City is a gem. There's plenty of activities to do around like the Valley of the waves, which is a family activity. So after playing golf the family can do other activities. The course offers plenty of opportunities for beginners to learn and improve. Overall, I'd give the Lost City Golf Course 5 out of 5 stars. It's a fantastic destination for golfers of all levels, including beginners. The scenic views, friendly staff, and forgiving course make it an ideal spot to learn and enjoy the game.
A very challenging but absolutely stunning and beautiful course. Highly recommended to get out and enjoy a world class golf course where the wildlife are at home to roam around. The views are spectacular and each hole is carefully carved out of the beautiful landscape. I recommend taking some extra balls and a caddie who can assist in finding some those stray tee shots.
The golf course offers a truly stunning experience, with its fairways being one of the standout features. Lush, well-maintained grass stretches out smoothly, providing an inviting path for players. The vibrant greenery and carefully manicured landscape create a picturesque setting that enhances the overall enjoyment of the game. Each hole presents a unique challenge, while the beauty of the fairways adds to the serenity of the surroundings. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or a beginner, the breathtaking views make every swing feel special. Overall, it's a fantastic course that promises a memorable day on the green!
Very very very beautiful course with a distinct lost city theme. The holes were challenging and if we didn’t have the caddies, we wouldn’t have known how to play them. Also, be on the lookout for some crocodiles on hole 13 as it’s a sight to see!
Very nice course... Areas of improvement in my humble opinion is the staff is a little bit rude. The pro shop has very limited memorabilia. The food is average. Location, scenery and course conditions deserves a 5 star but your employees is leyting you down
Great golf course . One definitely need to play Gary Player and Lost City if you visit Sun City.
Championship golf course, my daughter played in the Nomads SA Girls Rosebowl Champs 2024. Lots of tricky holes, bunkers and water features which make the course very beautiful indeed. I walked the full 18 holes with her and experienced some awesome views of the mountains and surrounding nature. Pro shop can at least employ another person to work there instead of just 1. Staff overall very helpful and friendly
Me and my friend took a walk to the golf course clubhouse for coffee. I don’t play golf but the layout of the course looked structured. Given that it’s winter the club has done a good job maintaining quality of the greens, which looked good. I really enjoyed my coffee and the blueberry sauce was just amazing.

Was staying at the main hotel and needed a place to workout. Walked across to the gym at the country club. It is TOTALY worth the R80.00 a day price tag. Well equipped and very well kept! Lots of areas to catch your bread and take in the golf course and mountain views. Recommended 100x over.
As always this place is spectacular, after huge amounts of rain the course was immaculate, albeit very challenging. We played both golf courses but Gary Player Country Club remains one of my favorite courses and had the privilege of playing a few holes with the legend himself, Gary Player...almost 90 years old but still as fit as ever.
Probably the toughest course I’ve ever played but enjoyed every moment of it. My caddy, Budha was amazing as he knew the ins and outs of the course whilst being a legendary ball finder, being able to find my ball in the thick rough. The course provides a plethora of shot types to play whilst also having lots of risk management. The scenery of the lake was also beautiful alongside the high hills. There were also a lot of local flora and fauna making this not only fun to play, but fun to relax in the scenery.
It was the best experience playing where the greatest golfers walked. It was humbling walking over all the names on the 9th hole and playing and putting where they won big money.
Great course, world class. Green fees are good especially for MVG's and include a very nice lunch. Tough course but fun. No carts allowed but very good caddies.
Decided to have breakfast at the country club restaurant. Ordered eggs bacon tomato and toast. The food was decent but the view was spectacular. The monkeys decided they also wanted our breakfast so beware. They’re not shy to steal right off your plate. Well priced and a lovely experience.
Tranquil, challenging and prestine course condition. Truly memorable experience.
Incredible course! Brilliant day out!

Predator world is under new management who are trying to revitalize the facilities for all the animals. Supporting them means creating better conservation for the predators, many of which are rescue animals.
New management has taken over! Thank goodness, since that means Joseph gets to keep his job, and he can carry on the good work of educating customers on these beautiful animals. Grass has been cut, each enclosure has water now. And maintenance is being done. Well done to the new owners and glad to see things are being turned around. Please visit and support.
A great experience overall, even the venue, is a little run down and can do with an upgrade. The animals were amazing as you see species that are hard to come by in the wild or even the country. Joseph was also amazing.
Absolutely heartbreaking place. Animals do not look well treated, and in less than satisfactory conditions. My 5 year old som leaned on a railing that broke! It was really shoddy welding. I really hope there is a charity that breaks in and rescues all those lovely animals.
They have guided tours every hour. We missed the feeding time, which happen three times per week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The wheelchair didn't work well in the lose soil. It was a great experience for us to see the lions, tigers and other predators closeup.
I was absolutely heartbroken by what I saw on this tour. The enclosures were far too small for the animals, with barely any water available and almost no shade to protect them from the heat. Many looked stressed and unhealthy. The facilities were extremely run down, and the conditions felt outright cruel. Animals deserve dignity, space, and proper care — sadly, this place offered none of that. I would never recommend supporting such treatment. The only good thing is that the lady who gave us the tour was friendly… but the cruelty towards these animals is horrific
I enjoyed our time here, although we did see 👀 some animals- the grass was fairly long, so most of them couldn't really be seen clearly. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic and friendly- I would totally give her a 5 🌟. They have 2 snakes 🐍 on site - one you are able to carry. There's a shop with curios as well as cooldrinks & other snacks . We also did see a wolf and an ostrich which I didn't really get photos of. Ticket prices were R120pp
Very nice and well kept reserve. The tour with Joseph deserves a special mention - wow! Thanks for the experience and talks from a knowledgeable tour guide. Had agreat time, saw a lot, had a few laughs and a fun time with the family.

Visiting Sun City Resort with our learners for the Telkom Netball Games was an incredible experience. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the learners were beyond excited to explore such a beautiful and well-organized destination. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by friendly staff who made sure everything ran smoothly. The resort was clean, safe, and very accommodating for both adults and children. There were plenty of restaurants to choose from, offering a wide variety of delicious meals and snacks at reasonable prices. Everyone enjoyed the food, and it was easy to find something for every taste. The resort also provided many fun and relaxing spots where we could unwind after the games. The facilities were well maintained, and the environment was peaceful and refreshing. It was a perfect balance between sport, leisure, and learning. The learners loved every moment, especially being part of such a prestigious event in such a beautiful location. Overall, our trip to Sun City Resort was memorable and worth every moment. It’s a place I would recommend to schools, families, and anyone looking for a clean, safe, and exciting destination full of adventure and relaxation. We can’t wait to visit again in the future!
Sun City Is really a city on its own. Love the fact that ones you get there and park your car you will not need it until the time you checkout. These shuttles to even activities outside the resort. The number of fine dining restaurants need to increase feel like these not a lot of variety there. The staff is friendly and even when these thousands of us, they somehow don’t forget the faces. That is one incredible thing I noticed, very unique indeed. The activities are well managed
Staying in the Junior Suite at Sun City Palace was a truly memorable experience. The staff were warm, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, with stunning surroundings that made it easy to unwind. Breakfast each morning was delicious, offering a great selection and excellent service to start the day right. However, for the price you pay per night, the room itself could definitely use a bit of an upgrade. While still comfortable, some of the furnishings and finishes feel slightly dated compared to the otherwise luxurious setting. Overall, it was a lovely stay — just a little refresh would make it perfect.
An unforgettable experience at Sun City Resort! Sun City truly lives up to its reputation — it’s the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and luxury. The resort is beautifully maintained with stunning scenery everywhere you look. From the Valley of Waves to the golf courses, restaurants, and entertainment options, there’s something for everyone.

We spent 4 nights at Sun City, again Hotel from 2-6 October to celebrate my 60th birthday. The Main hotel has been beautifully upgraded and some other facilities at the Resort. Check-in was done by a friendly and professional gentleman HOWEVER that's were their clientele stopped. We were met with abrupt, unfriendly staff throughout our stay. The cherry on top was the lady at the breakfast area front desk, she was unfriendly and had no manners speaking to visitors. The manual system te record visitors entering the breakfast area are long and tedious which ended up in long ques. Servers in the breakfast area were unfriendly, gave attitude when asked something, to the extend that we made a decision not to ask or engage staff to avoid frustration. We had so many bad experiences that it was a waste of money and my 60th birthday celebration was for below my expectation. Definitely not value for money if the facility is glamorous but service poor and clientele non-existent. We had to withdraw from our 6am game drive as ranger would not leave until all late comers were picked up, we spend time waiting then eventually driving to the palace to collect people, only to find they're not ready and the rest of the group were forced to wait... I can go on and on ... The main hotel had 1 lift working while the hotel was fully booked,
Really great experience for going out for the day . But if you do wanna explore whole of Sun city, u might aswell wanna book in for more than a day or two there to explore more and have fun everywhere around sun city. But the services ... now and then u get them being enthusiastic but most of the times they not . But else still thanks for the services and help u gave here and there a little .
Wonderful four night stay at The Palace. Every member of staff was incredibly helpful. Sampled lots of different food options and no complaints from me. Pool area is stunning.. The only minor gripe I have is the players card system in the casino- it’s impossible to get the card verified in a slot machine within 10 goes! Please sort this out! Thank you so much Sun City- can’t wait to return!
Suncity is great for families, they cater alot for children. Lots of fast food places. But for wine and dine we could not find one . Not sure about the Palace. We stayed at the Cabannas. Nice pool and lake. Over time its changed .

Superb location..a variety of activities available, money talks here☺️😌
It was a fantastic experience. The gents were so professional and explained everything so simply. Riding a jetski after the practice round was a breeze. Really memorable
Very peaceful and well maintained. Perfect view of the mini waterfall and dam. There's a lot of space to run around/play. You cannot bring your own food though. But otherwise, thumbs up. Great Experience.
Great fun and prices are fair people are friendly and professional. Located at the bottom of cabanas hotel there is also a child minding service in the same place just a short distance from water world
Great service, slightly pricy but in my opinion, it is well worth it. Had a great time on the jet skis and the guys assisting are very friendly and helpful.
Awesome activities! Staff is friendly and courteous. Enjoyed the Jet Skis, Para sailing and the tube rides. A must when in Sun City
I took my five and a half year daughter on her first ever jet ski ride, she (and of course I) thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff were all friendly, helpful and ensured the correct safety measures were followed (by all present)

Visiting Sun City Resort with our learners for the Telkom Netball Games was an incredible experience. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the learners were beyond excited to explore such a beautiful and well-organized destination. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by friendly staff who made sure everything ran smoothly. The resort was clean, safe, and very accommodating for both adults and children. There were plenty of restaurants to choose from, offering a wide variety of delicious meals and snacks at reasonable prices. Everyone enjoyed the food, and it was easy to find something for every taste. The resort also provided many fun and relaxing spots where we could unwind after the games. The facilities were well maintained, and the environment was peaceful and refreshing. It was a perfect balance between sport, leisure, and learning. The learners loved every moment, especially being part of such a prestigious event in such a beautiful location. Overall, our trip to Sun City Resort was memorable and worth every moment. It’s a place I would recommend to schools, families, and anyone looking for a clean, safe, and exciting destination full of adventure and relaxation. We can’t wait to visit again in the future!
Sun City Is really a city on its own. Love the fact that ones you get there and park your car you will not need it until the time you checkout. These shuttles to even activities outside the resort. The number of fine dining restaurants need to increase feel like these not a lot of variety there. The staff is friendly and even when these thousands of us, they somehow don’t forget the faces. That is one incredible thing I noticed, very unique indeed. The activities are well managed
Staying in the Junior Suite at Sun City Palace was a truly memorable experience. The staff were warm, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, with stunning surroundings that made it easy to unwind. Breakfast each morning was delicious, offering a great selection and excellent service to start the day right. However, for the price you pay per night, the room itself could definitely use a bit of an upgrade. While still comfortable, some of the furnishings and finishes feel slightly dated compared to the otherwise luxurious setting. Overall, it was a lovely stay — just a little refresh would make it perfect.
An unforgettable experience at Sun City Resort! Sun City truly lives up to its reputation — it’s the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and luxury. The resort is beautifully maintained with stunning scenery everywhere you look. From the Valley of Waves to the golf courses, restaurants, and entertainment options, there’s something for everyone. The staff are friendly and always willing to help, and everything feels safe and well-organized. Whether you’re going for a weekend getaway or a family holiday, Sun City never disappoints.

We did the Prison Break room. Super challenging, and we did not complete it. Friendly and helpful employees. Definitely recommend if you like a challenging escape room.
Fun for first-timers, though not fantastic for more experienced escape room players… Without the help of the game master, some things couldn’t even be figured out. It took away the immersion component. The flow of the room was also a little strange and some things didn’t really make a lot of sense. Our game master KO was very nice though ❤️
A definitive YES! Unbelievably fun and entertaining! Not only is the game we played full of mystery and riddles but makes you think outside the Box! Staff ( Lesley, Jo and our game master ) were amazing !!! Thank you thank you !!!!
The Breakout Quest Games are an absolute must. We had such a blast with the outside mission. We had 90 minutes to finish the mission and we were sent on a route all over the Sun City premises. Our Game Master, Aubrey, was so friendly and helpful. He explained the instructions very well and was always willing to give a clue when we hit a dead end. This game allows you to move around and explore the beautiful sights the Golf Course and various Hotels have to offer, it is certainly a mystery worth exploring and uncovering.
To be honest - it’s really nice to have the facilities at Sun City, however if you have seen more than 50 escape rooms around the world and compare it to Amsterdam it is only average. The gaming area itself is nice and maintained and the staff is friendly.
Intro sound non existed/very poor/too soft. Yellow khoki to write on white board, could hardly see your own writing.. Could not hear game master at times. When asking for clues the game master was not always present. Sequence of cards for calculation was not logically. Tablet was not in box when opened and was brought into room. Had to switch on flash of tablet which you would not know without asking the game master. After game we asked one of staff members to read the clues and he could hardly see the numbers. He also did not know how to switch on the flash. Will not recommend this game
Did the "kidnapping" it was okay. I didn't actually enjoy it. What I did enjoy was the Illusion that was offered as a complimentary. Enjoyed the clues and the different rooms were awesome. Illusion much better than the Breakout scenarios. Rather get rid of Breakout and do more illusion rooms.
What a fun experience! We really enjoyed this.
