THE VALLEY OF WAVES
In the heart of this ancient volcano, according to
the legend, a great civilisation arose. The peace-loving
nomads from the north settled in this lush
green valley, where they built their spectacular
Palace, surrounded by abundantly flowing waters
and beautiful gardens. After an earthquake
destroyed their home, the people fled and
eventually, the Palace and its city became
completely overgrown. Centuries later, a modern
explorer stumbled upon this Lost City. The Palace
was restored to its former glory, and re-opened in
1992 as part of the amazing Lost City development
at Sun City. The Valley of Waves is open daily,
from 09h00 until 18h00 in summer and 10h00 until
17h00 in winter. There is an astounding variety of
adventures waiting to be discovered and enjoyed
here.
THE BRIDGE OF TIME
This impressive bridge, guarded by mighty
elephants, serves to link the Hall of Treasures in
the Lost City Entertainment Centre with the Valley
of Waves. In order to protect the incalculable
riches which lie hidden in the Hall of Treasures,
an ingenious mock-volcano regularly erupts,
causing smoke and lava to bellow forth from deep
within the Temple of Creation.
THE KONG GATES
These massive gates guarded the entrance to the
Valley, and can still be seen today.
MONKEY SPRING PLAZA
The Monkey Spring Plaza commemorates the troop
of monkeys which saved the ancient tribe from

DIAMOND & GOLD MINES
After the earthquake destroyed the ancient

semi-submerged waterslides as they twist down
Slide Hill.
BOTANICAL GARDENS

namely the Rain Forests, the Baobab Forest,
