When you stay at the Palace of the Lost City you will have access to two international-standard golf courses; just watch out for the crocodiles in the water feature of the 13th hole!

The Hotel is situated next to Pilanesberg National Park – a plateau that formed in the crater of a giant supervolcano that erupted 1200 million years ago. Due to its fiery birth, the area is one of the most important geological sites on Earth. It is also home to a huge variety of wildlife and important Stone and Iron age settlements. You can tour this incredible area as part of the Sun City’s Safari Package.
