The Palace of the Lost City looks like it was designed for a film: a fantasy palace of domed towers and carved elephants built around the legend of a lost African civilisation, surrounded by man-made jungle, two hours from Johannesburg. It opened in 1992 as the centrepiece of the Sun City resort.
Blended (2014)
In Blended, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, in their third film together after The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates, play two single parents whose disastrous blind date is followed by an accidental shared holiday in Africa with all their children. The resort they stay at was filmed at The Palace of the Lost City. Terry Crews leads the resort's singing troupe, the film's running joke.
