So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.

Know more about traveling from Sun City
Sun City is very family-friendly. The Valley of Waves waterpark, the Kwena crocodile sanctuary, Predator World, and the resort's pools and activity centers offer plenty for children of all ages. The Cabanas hotel features a dedicated Kids Club with supervised activities. Pilanesberg National Park is also a memorable and safe safari experience for families.
Yes, tipping is standard practice in South Africa and an important part of service industry income. At restaurants, a tip of around 10 to 15 percent of the bill is customary if service is not already included. Tipping game drive guides, hotel porters, and housekeeping staff is also appreciated. Having small rand notes on hand is helpful for everyday gratuities.
Sun City offers an enormous range of activities. The Valley of Waves waterpark features thrilling slides and a large wave pool. Two Gary Player-designed golf courses host international tournaments. Visitors can also enjoy zip-lining, quad biking, horse riding, jet skiing, hot-air balloon safaris over Pilanesberg, and the cultural village of Motseng, which celebrates South African traditions through music and storytelling.
South Africa uses the South African rand (ZAR). Major credit and debit cards are widely accepted at Sun City's hotels, restaurants, and shops. It is advisable to carry some cash for tips and smaller transactions. Currency can be exchanged at the resort or at banks and bureaux de change in nearby Rustenburg.
Sun City is an all-year destination with reliably sunny weather. The dry winter months from May to September offer cooler, comfortable days, lower humidity, and the best wildlife-viewing conditions in Pilanesberg National Park. The summer months from October to March are warm to hot and bring occasional afternoon thunderstorms. Avoid South African school holidays and the Christmas period, when the resort is at its busiest.
South Africa has 11 official languages, but English is the primary language used in business, tourism, and at Sun City. Visitors will have no difficulty communicating with staff and service providers throughout the resort and in the surrounding area.
For the resort, pack light summer clothing, swimwear, and sun protection, as the sun is strong year-round. For game drives in Pilanesberg, bring neutral-colored clothing in khaki, olive, or brown tones, as bright colors can startle wildlife. A good camera with a zoom lens, binoculars, a sun hat, and insect repellent are all highly recommended. Evenings can be cool in winter, so a warm layer is useful.
Pilanesberg National Park, located right next to the resort, is home to the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. It is also one of the few reserves in South Africa that is completely malaria-free, making it ideal for families and visitors who want a wildlife experience without health concerns.
