Sun City in May

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

May marks the start of the dry, colder season at Sun City. Mornings are cool and afternoons are sunny, making it a great time for golf, walking tours, and relaxing by the pool in the warm midday sun.

The Valley of Waves is calmer, but it’s still refreshing throughout the day. Because animals tend to congregate around permanent water sources, Pilanesberg game drives are fantastic. Luxury travellers can make the most of resort amenities that are quieter and more personalised.
