Maputo). After the Pilgrim's Rest gold rush began during the late 1800's, it came to be
nicknamed Robbers Pass due to regular hold-ups of stagecoaches and travelers by highwaymen
and robbers - a name it bears to this day. Now the pass forms part of a very scenic drive
down to the Lowveld featuring endless idyllic views en route to Pilgrim's Rest.

Day six After breakfast depart from
Crystal Springs to Sun City. In
the middle of an extended savannah lies the Las Vegas of Southern Africa. The spacious
entertainment area used to be part of the former homeland Bophuthatswana. The formal
independence of the homeland made it possible for the businessman Sol Kerzner to set up
this complex quite close to the population centres Johannesburg and Pretoria, where,
amongst other things, striptease and gambling are offered, which activities had been
forbidden in the Calvinist old South Africa. Besides that, internationally famous
entertainers like rockstars perform here, who have always attracted many people.
Nowadays Sun City has lost the odour of sin. The name now stands for luxurious hotels,
beautifully laid-out watergardens, excellent golf courses, unusual gambling halls,
exclusive casinos and first-class entertainment shows. The latest jewel in the chain
of casino complexes is Lost City. It was planned in the style of a sunken, legendary
African town. It is beautifully situated and imaginatively decorated.. No wonder that Sun
City attracts more than 25.000 visitors every day. Overnight at Cabanas Hotel on a
bed and breakfast basis. (dinner on own account). |
