Tourvest, Chimp & Zee bolsters Sun City activities with aerial adventure course

The park, scheduled to open on 25 November, will comprise individual elevated obstacles and challenges, interconnected to form an exciting aerial adventure course, and will include high balancing beams, zip lines, hanging spider nets and jungle rope bridges. It will have two access points to allow day visitors outside the Valley of the Waves to enjoy the facility too.

Leisure and entertainment destination

Mankwe-Gametrackers’ chief executive, Peter Dlamini says the introduction of a rope adventure park will greatly enhance the Valley of the Waves by introducing an additional activity to swimming and the waterslides. “The rope adventure park will add considerable value to Sun City’s value proposition as a sought-after leisure and entertainment destination. We feel that while guests enjoy the slides and the waves, their interest will be piqued by the activities above them and we expect the Valley of the Waves to draw larger numbers of people.”

According to Dlamini, it is a double lane which will meet the demand and allow guests to enjoy the experience alongside each other to the finish. “Safety will be a crucial aspect of this new activity and highly trained personnel will be stationed at the beginning and end of the rope park’s circuit to ensure the integrity of the cables and related equipment.”

In other developments, Tourvest says the first stage of its mountain biking track within the neighbouring Letsatsing Game Reserve has been completed and will also be opened to the public in November this year. The next stage is already underway and will add an additional 10kms to the mountain biking track when complete. The reserve already has a quad biking track and the inclusion of a cycling track will offer guests the opportunity to experience a game viewing bike ride.

Activity and cyclist hub

The track is 9.7kms and has been divided into a beginner and experienced cyclists’ lane and offers views of Sun City, the Pilanesberg National Park, neighbouring communities and, on a clear day, Rustenburg. “The track has been built to international standards with a view to attracting international cycling events as the route is extended in the coming months. Guests can bring their own bikes or rent them from our new Activity Hub, located at the old cultural village,” says Dlamini.

The Activity Hub will serve as a central reservation point for all activities at Sun City, allowing guests to peruse, book and pay in one place.
