The legend o f the lo s t c i t y - Sun C i ty

“Centuries before tall ships were

ever dreamed about, long before

the dawn of a Western civilisation, a

nomadic tribe from Northern Africa

set out to seek a New World, a land

of peace and plenty”

The tribe wandered for many

years in search of such a magical

place, and at last their quest was

rewarded. The land they discovered

to the South became the legendary

Valley Of The Sun, known today as

The Valley Of Waves.

Not only did they bring with them a

rich culture, but also architectural skills, which were exceptional, even by today’s standards.

Something special was created; from the jungle rose an

amazing city with a magnificent Palace, a world richer and

more splendid than any they had ever known – then a violent

earthquake struck this idyllic valley, the survivors fled, never

to return and left it to be found and restored by archaeologists

centuries later. We have today restored it to its former glory.

Sun C i ty weatherSun C i ty – South A f r i ca

The weather in the Pilanesberg is pleasant

throughout the year. Summers are very hot

with late afternoon showers and winter brings

cold mornings and evenings but wonderful

warm dry days.

The Pilanesberg’s summer months bring the

most rain between mid September and April.

However, this is ever-changing due to global

warming.

When visiting the Pilanesberg to also enjoy

game viewing, the best time of year is early in

the morning during spring and summer.

Sun City and the Pilanesburg National Park are

malaria-free areas.

The world’s largest game translocation operation

undertaken in 1979 ensured that the Pilanesberg

National Park is now home to over 7000 wild

animals, including the Big 5 and other large

species. Over 300 bird species have also been

identified in the area.

The Park is also geologically famous. Volcanic

eruptions some 1200 million years ago gave

rise to what is now known world-wide as the

“Pilanesberg Alkaline Ring Complex”.
