Palace of the Lost City
Situated in the Bojanala region of the North West Province, the
'Las Vegas' of South Africa is one of the largest adult
entertainment centres in the world, with casinos, golf, live shows,
and the architectural wonder of the Lost City. The vast resort
complex is one of South Africa's top attractions for gambling,
entertainment and opulence, a luxury theme park for adults that was
the multi-million dollar dreamchild of South African entrepreneur,
Sol Kerzner. The Lost City, with its African theme of life-size
animals, has at its centre a luxurious 'palace' decorated with
mosaics, frescoes, palm fronds and elephant tusks. Surrounding it
are lakes, forests and a tropical beach. There are a variety of
watersports and The Valley of the Waves, the most advanced
waterpark in the country, has among other things a wave machine
capable of generating almost seven-foot (2m) waves. The resort
complex also borders on the Pilanesberg National Park, home to the
'Big Five' and a popular game-viewing destination.
Information & Facts
Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
