8 UNDER AN AFRICAN SUN IT S TIME TO BE INTRIGUED BY THE ANCIENT From its inception in 1992, The Palace of the Lost City has enthralled and amazed visitors from all over the globe. This addition to the Pilanesberg landscape is dwarfed in years by the 1,300 million year old extinct volcanic site on which it is built. The 55,000 hectare, malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park, borders on the Sun City complex. It was opened in 1979, and is to date the largest game re-settlement project in the history of South Africa. The Mankwe Lake, a game drawcard, marks the centre of the ancient volcano.

The diverse vegetation supports a wealth of other mammals, birds, reptiles, and tree species. The perfect location of The Palace tempts and entices the hunger to explore, from walking with lions, tracking rhino, hot air balloon safari or teeing off on world-famous greens, The Palace is an entryway to a sphere of unique African adventures.
