Bojanala Platinum District Municipality

A resort and safari destination near Johannesburg, most famous for Pilanesberg National Park and Sun City.

Bojanala Platinum District Municipality is located in the eastern part of the North West Province of South Africa, with Rustenburg as its central city, just a short drive from Johannesburg. Pilanesberg National Park offers opportunities to view large wildlife, and the bird hide at Mankwe Dam is very popular. The adjacent Sun City resort combines a casino, The Palace of the Lost City hotel, Valley of Waves water park, and golf courses, making it perfect for family vacations.
