Sun City Resort is an environmentally friendly destination and has been awarded Gold classification from the Heritage Programme for its commitment to the principles of sustainable and responsible environmental practice. In addition to this, Sun City Resort was awarded the 2007 Overall Imvelo Responsible Tourism Award in South Africa. Imvelo, meaning “nature” in Nguni, forms part of an ongoing hospitality industry campaign to encourage industry members to accept voluntary guidelines by promoting responsible tourism.
The resort is an extended wildlife area where Vervet Monkeys and Chacma Baboons can still roam freely. They should therefore be acknowledged and treated as wild animals. Should they be fed, they will lose their natural fear of humans and become aggressive and dangerous. Guests are requested to assist the resort in following the easy guidelines below:
- Do not feed or tease the monkeys and baboons.
- Keep all doors and windows locked when vacating your room
- Do not leave children unsupervised
Anyone caught feeding these animals will be liable to pay a fine of R500 towards Sun City's Environmental programme.
