South Africa's Sun City & Madikwe

On arrival at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport you will be met and transferred to Sun City, South Africa's biggest and most multi-faceted holiday resort.

After settling into your room at The Cascades, your adventure can begin.

Sun City offers a virtually endless list of activities to keep the entire family entertained. The children will just love The Valley of Waves - a no-holds-barred waterpark with thrilling waterslides, an artificial beach and a wave pool - and be sure to visit the small farmyard zoo, too.

There are plenty of sports on offer - mountain biking, horse riding, water skiing, and parasailing - and any keen golfers in the family will be delighted by the two Gary Player-designed championship golf courses at the resort.

If you want to do some game viewing before you head to Madikwe then the Pilanesberg National Park is right next door and you can go on game drives and even hot-air balloon flights.

And finally, parents who want quality time together (or to tee off on the golf course) will be pleased to learn that Sun City has a special kids' activity club and a babysitting service.

Your post-breakfast transfer will be waiting to take you to Madikwe Private Game Reserve and Madikwe Safari Lodge.

Sit back and relax - Madikwe is about two hours away - but keep your eyes open as you enter the reserve: the game viewing will begin right away!

Madikwe Safari Lodge offers a wonderfully comfortable base from which to experience a perfect safari. Children of all ages are welcome at the lodge, which provides them with special activities designed to keep them active and teach them about the wild.

Madikwe's malaria-free Kalahari grasslands and open woodlands are packed with wildlife, and the list of animals includes not only the Big 5 but also a rewarding blend of familiar savannah species and desert specialists too.
Go on morning and late afternoon/early evening game drives led by knowledgeable and experienced guides. When back at camp, unwind by the pool or in the camp's library before your meals - breakfasts, lunches and dinners are served in the relaxed communal dining area.
