Sun City in January

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

In January, Sun City is in the middle of summer, with long, hot days and warm evenings. As South African school vacations lure families to the resort, the Valley of Waves and resort pools are at their busiest.

Afternoon thunderstorms are common; they illuminate Africa’s landscape but can disrupt outdoor activities. Despite this, the atmosphere is vibrant for luxury travellers, featuring casino evenings, nighttime entertainment, and busy restaurant schedules.

Pilanesberg National Park is close by and has lush, green game drives. However, animals may be harder to see because of the abundance of water sources.
