Excellent luxury hotel. Good for sightseeing. Awesome vibe.

Set among 60 acres of remote South African wilderness, this sprawling complex built in the crater of an extinct volcano is a wonderland destination where opulence in the bush takes on new meaning. The jewel property in the Sun City resort, the Palace boasts interiors with hand-carved walls, bespoke furnishings and ceilings that depict a classic African landscape. Outside, the imitation sea and palm fringe beach, Valley of Waves, includes a 5,600-square-meter wave pool, waterslides, sway bridge and Botanical Garden trails. A sense of adventure prevails at the 18-hole Lost City Golf Course, which features a crocodile-filled pond. There is also a chance to see the Big Five on safari tours at the adjoining Pilanesberg National Park.

The neighboring Pilanesberg National Game Park is South Africa's third largest game reserve and home to the famed Big 5 wildlife.

One of South Africa's premier golf destinations, the resort features two championship golf courses and the Gary Player Country Club.
