The resort features dense forests, with artificial lakes, waterfalls, and gardens interspersed throughout. Monkeys occasionally appear in the trees, and flocks of birds fly past the towers, adding a touch of wild charm to the carefully crafted view. Strolling through the resort, you can experience the natural atmosphere of the African interior and see how the themed architecture and gardens complement each other. The resort also features a golf course, perfect for visitors who enjoy a round of golf.Sun City · 1.6km from downtown

The bridge is approx. 100 m long, connecting the entertainment center at one end and the Valley of Waves at the other, and it is also a must-pass route for visitors entering and exiting the Lost City park. Walking onto the bridge, the eye-catching features on both sides are pairs of majestic elephant sculptures.

There are two golf courses in the area, namely the Lost City Course and the Gary Player Course, as well as a driving range.Gary Player Golf Club: There are numerous bunkers and water holes, and the 18 holes are all challenging. It ranks first among the 420 golf clubs in South Africa, and all indicators even exceed those of the famously demanding US Professional Golf Championship. standard.The landscape design of Gary Player Stadium is also very meticulous. The buildings hidden in the jungle, the tranquil emerald lake, and the Pilanesberg National Wildlife Park in the distance all become the background of the stadium.Lost City Golf Club: also designed by Gary Player, but completely different in style from the Gary Player course. The entire course is full of drama and fun. The constant changes in mountains, deserts, vegetation, and lakes increase the difficulty of hitting the ball. There are even several crocodiles in the pond on the 13th hole, waiting for the small white ball to fall into the water with their mouths wide open.Sun City · 1.6km from downtown

There are many resort hotels here. Just choose the one that you think is suitable for your price range. However, in the resort, you can basically only take the bus route or the hotel to arrange your travel destination, so sometimes it is a problem to get back to the hotel.

The Time Bridge in Sun City is located in the center of Sun City Amusement Park. This bridge is also called the Earthquake Bridge. When you pass through this bridge, it will make a loud rumbling sound, giving people a feeling of shaking the earth. In fact, this design is also to commemorate the indomitable spirit of Sun City, which was destroyed in the earthquake but miraculously rebuilt. It is also a place that every tourist who comes to Sun City must experience.

Early in the morning, no, early in the morning, anyway, we set off before dawn in order to match the animals' schedule because today is another day to see animals. How come there are so many animals to see in South Africa? Different from the cute little ones before, what we saw today were all fierce and fierce, such as African elephants, African leopards, African antelopes, and African rhinos. Anyway, they were all local African brands, guaranteed to be genuine. The place we went to is called Pilanesberg Game Reserve. It is located in the north of South Africa, north of Sun City. It is the fourth largest wildlife park in South Africa, covering an area of ​​more than 500 square kilometers. I have been to many wildlife parks, and I have run a lot in outdoor wilderness like this. To be honest, it is really a physical job. First of all, you have to have good eyesight. Usually, in order not to affect the animals themselves, vehicles will not stop too close. At this time, you have to be able to distinguish them in time. Secondly, you have to have a good guy, at least a long lens, otherwise it is quite strenuous to rely on the focus and anti-shake of the mobile phone. Thirdly, you have to turn your neck quickly because someone in front, behind, left, and right of you will suddenly tell you that a certain animal or a group of certain animals have appeared in a certain direction, and you have to turn around immediately. How to say it, it is very suitable for friends who like animals and have a curiosity. People like me who can't get up in the morning Those who can't even open their glasses are more tired, haha
