The Quad Bike
Quad Bikes are rough and ready vehicles that excel at tackling hard
terrain and the bushveld. They handle the arid and volcanic landscape
of the Pilanesberg and allow adventurers to explore hidden crevices and
ravines that are inaccessible on foot.
The adventure trail takes about an hour
and a highly skilled guide conducts the trail through Letsatsing
Game Park with the possibility of seeing Rhino,
Giraffe and other animal species on route. Internationally accepted
safety standards apply and no previous experience is needed as
instruction in
handling the vehicle forms part of the package. The adventure is not
available to anyone under 16. There is a fully supervised circuit
event for youngsters.
Clay Target Shooting
An elegant and noble sport that becomes addictive as you master the
art. You will be surprised at the ease with which you become proficient
in shooting the clay targets out of the sky, even when they are propelled
into the air from different directions at quicker intervals.
Instructors guide participants and there is no need for previous experience.
This is restricted to 20 participants at a time. Clay Target shooting is
extremely popular with companies organising corporate events or team building
events.
Archery
Discover this ancient art that conjures up images of William Tell,
the Roman Empire and Scottish highlanders. Archers of yesteryear used
rudimentary equipment whereas today the equipment is more modern and
sophisticated. At the Sun City Adventure Centre modern recurve bows and
contemporary equipment such as compound bows and powerful crossbows are
used.
Archery is about muscle discipline, eye
dominance, and accuracy. Target practice makes perfect or so the
experts say.
Drumming
For centuries drumming has formed part of the African culture. Rituals,
celebrations, funerals, healing and initiation ceremonies are marked
by the rhythmic beat of drums. Enjoy the interactive rhythms of Africa
by taking part in a drum circle and learn to play the Djembe Drum..
Music is the universal language, and drumming is the bridge between
spectator and participant. It's primal, heartfelt pulse stirs the
senses, making your foot tap in time to the beat. Anyone can be
a competent drummer
with almost no prior experience. Drumming brings people together who
share the connection of making music together.
The Adventure Centre offers guests an excellent manner of communing with
a group of people, enjoying the energetic rhythms of Africa.
The Temple of Courage
This speed slide is for the brave at heart. There is a height restriction
of 1.2 meters for safety reasons. The speed slide begins at the aptly
named ruins of the Temple of Courage. Here swimmers drop a heart stopping
17 meters, equal to the height of a four-story building. They slide
down a 70-meter long chute, hurtle under a bridge and gradually come to
gentle halt, in the chute. It is completely safe, even though this
slide looks and feels absolutely terrifying.
Viper and Mamba Slides (Tube Slides)
Tube Slides are named Viper & Mamba. Tubes are available at the
splash pool free of charge, but are for use at the slide only. Please
pass the tube on to others, once you have completed the ride. These
slides are situated to the right of the temple of courage. These slides
have a water capacity of 75 000 liters of water. The Mamba is a closed
tube slide, and the Viper is an open tube slide. Both rides end in
the splash pool at the bottom of the slides. Hold on for the ride
of your life!
Scorpion and Tarantula Slides (Body Slides)
Body slides are named Scorpion & Tarantula. These slides are situated
to the left of the Temple of Courage. These slides have a water capacity
of 60 000 liters of water. A small pool provides a safe splashdown
after a thrilling ride on the slippery and open scorpion chute. Starting
from the diamond mine is the Tarantula slide where swimmers swirl
and swoop through a pitch-dark tunnel, carved into the bowels of
the earth, to emerge
with a splash into the same pool as the Scorpion slide.
Adventure Mountain – for the young ones
This play area is for young children who do not enjoy the waves,
and who are shorter than 1.2 meters. This area consists of 1 mini
body slide, 5 mini speed slides and a splash pool, with a water capacity
of 35 000 liters of water. Play with the Adventure Mountain elephant,
frog, snake and tortoise. There is also a play castle with slide
for those who do not wish to get wet.
Lazy River
If all you want to do is relax and “veg”, then this is the ride for
you. Hop onto a single tube free of charge at the Lazy river, or
hire a double tube with your partner and enjoy a relaxing trip
through the spraying monkeys, squirting elephant, misty caves,
the Valley crocodile
and raging rapids, pass an island, the food court and… do it all
again, as your heart desires. The Lazy River has a water capacity
of 2 000 000
liters of water.
The Roaring Lagoon or Wave Pool
The “ancients” named this amazing feature “the roaring lagoon”, primary
because of the sound of the waves pounding on the white beach. It
may also have something to do with the Lion Head features that still
remain carved from rock on this huge fan shaped wave pool. It contains
approximately 8 000 000 liters of water. The sizes of the waves
vary from 3 feet, flat waves to 8-foot V waves used for surfing. To
generate a wave, half a million liters of water is sucked into
giant hoppers and then suddenly released to create a mass of water
which surges
through a row of vents and becomes a wave, roaring towards the
beach.
Botanical Gardens
With endemic, indigenous and exotic plant species; the gardens offer
the different habitats, being the dry regions, rain forest, wetlands
and the coastal vegetation. The botanical garden was established
in 1998. Over 1 600 000 plants, trees, shrubs and ground covers
have been planted with 3200 species.
Diamond & Gold Mines
After the earthquake destroyed the ancient civilization, the old
diamond and gold mines were partly flooded and today provide thrilling
semi-submerged waterslides as they twist down Slide Hill. The Tarantula
is a thrilling experience - surrounded by darkness, armed with nothing
else but a tube, you charge through channels of mountain terrain at breathtaking
speed. Echoing your own screams of terror is the person hurtling down
the mountain-side behind you.
The Bridge of Time
This impressive bridge, guarded by mighty elephants, serves to link
the Hall of Treasures in the Lost City Entertainment Centre with the
Valley of Waves. In order to protect the incalculable riches which lie
hidden in the Hall of Treasures, an ingenious mock-volcano regularly
erupts, causing smoke and lava to bellow forth from deep within the Temple
of Creation.
The Kong Gates
These massive gates guarded the entrance to the Valley, and can still
be seen today.
Monkey Spring Plaza
The Monkey Spring Plaza commemorates the troop of monkeys which saved
the ancient tribe from starvation during a terrible drought.
Sway Bridge
This bridge was devised by the King to entrap those who wished harm
to the Royal Family. It creaks and sways as it spans the yawning chasm
over the cascading waters below.

to the Hidden Cave Falls.

Lost City via the Old East Gate Bridge.

the safety of the Royal Arena shortly before the earthquake devastated
their homes.

Here one can relax and enjoy the splendor of the African Sunset,
