Bus to and From
  • Tip Rating:
  • Well there is Busses leading to different destinations in Sun City. Remember this is one huge Resort so taking a bus to and from the Hotel is not a bad Idea.

    There is no cost for using the bus service unless you are using a bus that is going to another city.

    Getting round the park - self drive!

    Driving in Pilansberg, looking
    at the lions!

    The ideal way to self-drive in a game park is in a 4x4 land rover. Of course, these are quite expensive to hire, plus they aren’t a necessity, by no means.

    They offer you the added height and vantage point when viewing animals, and are an easier ride often when the road is a bit bumpy.

    We went in a normal five-door car, and it was absolutely fine. We had no problems whatsoever.

    The one thing that my family (naughty naughty!) did was hang out the window, which was okay, but it s not advised. They are looking at the lions that were lying under the tree, who had had a recent kill.

    Exciting stuff!

    *Remember to have a spare wheel and the usual bits and bobs you might need whilst in the park, plus have enough petrol (gas) too! This is NOT the place to break down or come to a stand still!

    ** AIR CONDITIONING IS A MUST!!!!

    Sky Train
  • Tip Rating:
  • Well this is a nice way to travel from the Car Park or the Kwena Gardens to the Sun City Entertainment Area. You get a nice view of the different hotels and activities from above.

    From Jo'burg to Sun City
  • Tip Rating:
  • I need to really jog my memory but I think a car ride from Johannesburg to Sun City took about 2 hours (rather more than less).

    Pilansberg roads
  • Tip Rating:
  • To be fair, the roads here are generally very good for a game park.

    There was only one place (near the huge lake) where we were rattling along as the road was so bumpy!

    There are many roads that are tarred, and many that are dirt. The dirt ones are neturally rougher than the tarred, but they are pretty smooth and in good condition.

    There are roads that only the game rangers acn go into, but these are clearly sign-posted.

    Signage is very good in the park, and as long as you have a map at hand too, it would be hard to get lost! :)

    An excellent hire car company!
  • Tip Rating:
  • We usually have our own car when we visit here, or we use a family car, but if you do need to hire a car - as we did our last time here, use Nova Car Rental.

    They drop the car off at your home for R135 extra, whcih isnt a lot at all, andwere on time, friendly and just a pleasure to deal with.

    When we dropped the car off at the airport, they were yet again professional, helpful and efficitent.

    Their prices are very good and they offer a variety of model car.

    Shuttle bus arouns Sun City.
    You do not need a car once you have arrived at Sun City. There is a small shuttle bus which operates around the whole resort and stops at each hotel along its circular route. Buses leave daily and regularly from the Welcome Centre. The route also includes the Vacation Club.

    Resort Bus Service
    For those who do not wish to walk to the various hotels and activities within the resort a regular bus service will get you to the hotel front entrance and very close to most other activities. The service operates throughout the day and in the evening. I do not know the night cut off hour but we did use it around 10 pm.

    The service is free.

    Car Parking
    Car parking can be difficult in Sun City, there are three major car parks.

    1. Sky-train station has a large car park located behind the Cabanas Hotel.

    2. Two car-parks are located outside the Sun City Hotel.

    3. The Lost City Golf Course has a car park, located next door to the Vacation Club.

    4. The Vacation Club has a small outdoor car-park.
