Kimberley is the capital city of the Northern Cape, situated approximately 480km southwest of Johannesburg. Founded in 1871 during the diamond rush, this historic city grew around the famous Big Hole – the largest hand-dug excavation in the world.

Kimberley’s rich heritage blends Victorian architecture with authentic Karoo character, offering visitors a unique glimpse into South Africa’s mining history while serving as a gateway to the Kalahari and other Northern Cape attractions.
