Waving like Miss World at Sun city! South Africa.
If you ever want to
dive into a lush and tropical fantasyland deep in the African bushveld, try the
Sun city! Two words- pure luxury. Pamper yourself and soak in the sun.
Located in South
Africa's North West Province, only two hours
drive from Johannesburg, Sun City is a vibrant mix of entertainment, spas,
swimming pools, wave pools, water sports, golf, gambling and family fun. Besides all the shopping and games, the hotel
group has not forgotten to maintain its natural spots.
The kids loved the
twenty five hectare botanical gardens, with an aviary and pet corner too.
We got to take a ride in the chuga chuga train ride which takes you all around
the expanse of the hotels. The birding experience was awesome and fish in the
lakes were plenty. The green jungle is threaded with meandering paths, boat
rides, cascades, lakes, pools and a variety of water adventure rides.
I found the whole experience exhilarating. Sun City is
internationally renowned as Africa’s premier holiday resort. You are spoilt for
choice. You simply don't know where to begin.The Sun city offers four hotels
to choose from, The Cascades, Sun City Cabanas, The Palace of the Lost City and the Cabana’s.
Sun City is often called
the South African Las Vegas. Try your
luck with any of the 852 slot machines and 38 gaming tables on Sun City's
casino. You can see a concert at the Sun
City Superbowl City Hotel where ‘The Beach Boys’, "Frank Sinatra', 'Paul Anka' 'Elton John' and 'Rod Stewart' are some of the big names who have performed
there.
Sun city is famous for Miss World pageants and Miss
South Africa Teen Pageants, which attract thousands of visitors to the site.
I of course was attracted to the Pilanesburg Safari treks
which were close by and ventured to simply get lost in the jungles. But kept
coming back to pose and wave the famous
Miss World ‘wave’ each time I took a dip in the pool to cool down!!
I knew I had missed the Miss World bus a long time ago!
