Sun City and the Palace of the Lost City
Situated in the Bojanala region of the North West Province, the
'Las Vegas' of South Africa is one of the largest adult
entertainment centres in the world, with casinos, golf, live shows,
and the architectural wonder of the Lost City. The vast resort
complex is one of South Africa's top attractions for gambling,
entertainment and opulence, a luxury theme park for adults that was
the multi-million dollar dreamchild of South African entrepreneur,
Sol Kerzner. The Lost City, with its African theme of life-size
animals, has at its centre a luxurious 'palace' decorated with
mosaics, frescoes, palm fronds and elephant tusks. Surrounding it
are lakes, forests and a tropical beach. There are a variety of
watersports and The Valley of the Waves, the most advanced
waterpark in the country, has among other things a wave machine
capable of generating almost seven-foot (2m) waves. The resort
complex also borders on the Pilanesberg National Park, home to the
'Big Five' and a popular game-viewing destination.
