What distinguishes Sun City and Pilanesberg is not any single property but the way the district holds together. Guests can compare several substantial resorts without committing to a long journey between them.

A purpose-built resort city bordering a malaria-free game reserve. We treat it as a district in its own right, because the properties here compete with each other far more than with the rest of South Africa's resort provinces.

The rate calendar in this district is event-led. Anyone able to travel midweek, or to shift around a fixture, will find the same room at a materially lower figure.

Our assessments of the properties below apply the same six weighted criteria used everywhere in this catalogue, so a score earned here is directly comparable with one earned in any other district we cover.
