Sun City’s SunFest winter escape promises an affordable adventure-packed break for the whole family
Escape the brr of winter at Sun City where temperatures are higher, the sun shines brighter and affordable property-wide deals won’t leave your wallet empty.
The North West Province’s mild, dry winter climate means Sun City can a host a number of exciting outdoor events and activities. The drier season even makes it easier to spot the Big Five and other animals at the next door Pilanesberg National Park.
“Our events team has planned an action-packed SunFest calendar filled with fun activities to keep our guests of all ages entertained. They can expect great value for money deals at our hotels and the restaurant and leisure facilities run by our concessionaires. You are sure to love every moment of this winter at Sun City,” said Sun City General Manager Brett Hoppé.
