Sun City & Madikwe Holiday Itinerary

Madikwe Game Reserve and Sun City are two of South Africa’s most popular family holiday destinations. Combined, these two deliver an action-packed holiday for the kids with plenty of relaxation time for the parents!

Take a look at our recommended itinerary to enjoy Sun City and Madikwe Game Reserve to their fullest.

3 Nights at Sun City

If you’re travelling internationally, you will land at O R Tambo International and road transfer or drive to Sun City from Johannesburg. Upon arrival, you can check in to your room and head straight to the Valley of the Waves to enjoy the pool, water slides and lazy river.

Over 18s can try their hand at a game of poker at the casino and keen golfers can enjoy 18 holes on the Gary Player Golf Course.

Sun City has a few accommodation options to choose from – depending on your budget and preferences. The Palace of the Lost City is uber-luxurious, but you can also opt to stay in the Cabanas Hotel, the Cascades Hotel, the Vacation Club or the Bush Bungalows. Find out more here.

3 Nights at Tuningi Safari Lodge

From Sun City, it’s a scenic drive to Madikwe Game Reserve – about 2 hours to the entrance of the reserve. Madikwe is situated on the edge of the Kalahari, offering fantastic Big 5 game viewing as well as more rare sightings of deserted-adapted species.
