A part of us felt we should have explored more of South Africa but Sun City offers so much, it’s hard to get preoccupied with our regrets. There is just so much to do at Sun City, you don’t even have to leave the resort. Or for some more really great accommodation options in South Africa check out Activities At this time (July-August), the weather was also very cold, which was a pleasant change from the hot and humid weather we get in Bangkok. Our rooms at the cascades were very nice and spacious offering a backdrop for stunning scenery such as the tranquil mountainous landscape, surreal sunrises and also the sound of waterfall trickling across the garden area. There’s the Sun City Hotel, the Cabanas, the Cascades (where we stayed) and the most luxurious, Palace Of The Lost City. There are 4 hotels here and 1 vacation club, each with their own qualities. It’s important to note that this was not just any honeymoon, we’re (especially myself) very active, adventurous people, so this wasn’t a relaxing trip. So what’s there to do at Sun City? Here’s everything we did here. Well ok, not all, especially if you prefer to travel like a local or with a low budget. The resort is a massive destination with 4 ranges of hotels complete with restaurants, entertainment complexes, thrilling activities and so much more that it is literally a one-stop place for all types of travelers. This high-end resort is just a few kilometers away from the southern entrance of the Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa, about a 2 hour-drive from Johannesburg airport. Sun City was our first choice of destination and if you don’t know what that is, perhaps if you’ve seen Adam Sandler’s Blended, it will jog your memory. My wife, Kanika, quickly decided we should instead go to Africa and within days we had booked ourselves ( read: our agent) a series of plane tickets, resorts and safari(s). Originally we were supposed to go to New Zealand but because of visa issues we had to alter our plans. My wife and I had been planning an overdue honeymoon trip for almost a year.
