Pre & Post Pilansberg & Sun City Tour



Tour Features: In the last century, the Pilansberg served as a sanctuary of a different kind - Mzilikazi's rebel Zulu warriors passed through the area as they fled the wrath of Chaka. Not long after this, during the Anglo-Boer war, General Christiaan de Wet's hid from the British amongst these same hills. Deep in this rugged bushveld, in the heart of an ancient volcano, lies the world's most unique resort. Sun City Resort has a unique heartbeat and an African rhythm of its own and is unlike any other Resort destination in the world. This is pure fantasy and your every desire is met.
