Best time to visit Sun City

Sun City is nestled at the edge of the southern Kalahari. With clear skies and lovely sunshine for most of the year, it is a year-round destination. Visitors should take note of the peak season, if you wish to avoid the heightened bustle. You may want to avoid Sun City during the South African school holidays; while the Christmas and New Year period can become quite frantic too. From November to April there are occasional afternoon thundershowers, even though it is summer. May to October (winter period) is considered the best time to visit if your wish is to have a much quieter holiday at the resort. There are less visitors around this time. For a fulfilling game viewing experience, winter is the best time to go to Pilanesberg National Park, which is adjacent to Sun City.
