3 The legend of the lost city - Sun City 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.

4 Sun City weather Airport Access Approx 2.5hrs from OR Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg by coach SA Express is now offering direct, scheduled flights from both Cape Town and Johannesburg to Pilanesberg Airport, conveniently located 10 km outside Sun City. Sun City Climate 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.
