South Africa Travel + Tourism Guide: Lost City, Sun City

Lost City, Sun City

Lost City is the Disney-inspired showpiece of Sun City - the vast entertainment and casino center built in the Apartheid era in the now defunct bantustan of Bophuthatswana by South African entrepreneur Sol Kerzer. Self-styled as the "Africa's Kingdom of Pleasure" Sun City is set in an awe-inspiring location and is a lot of fun to visit.

Sun City is close to the Pilanesberg National Park and the city of Rustenburg as well as the Royal Bafokeng Stadium.

Lost City is great for families with children and has a host of excellent attractions. Among these are the Valley of the Waves with water slides beaches and artificial waves which can be surfed. Lost City also has a rain forest with walkable paths, waterfalls and streams.

Lost City's Entertainment Centre is the main casino and slots palace with good restaurants and bars, a nightclub and an alcohol-free nightclub for teens.

The Cabanas area has water sports at Waterworld and a play area for children: horse-riding, a small zoo, an aviary and a crocodile feeding time.

Sun City is an environmentally friendly resort and has won awards for its sustainable and responsible environmental practices.
