Area Info
Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape in South Africa, is renowned for its rich history tied to the global diamond rush of the 1870s. The Big Hole, a massive pit originally dug by hand, remains a major attraction, though it is no longer as deep due to water seepage. During the height of the diamond rush, the town saw thousands of diggers searching for wealth, transforming from a dusty shantytown into a prosperous city by the turn of the century.
Kimberley’s diamond millionaires played a crucial role in financing the Witwatersrand goldfields, shaping South Africa’s industrial future. Today, the town blends modern amenities with its storied past, offering historical sites like the De Beers mine and Victorian homes while also boasting attractions such as museums, art galleries, and a ghost trail. The extraordinary saga of Kimberley’s past, filled with adventure, high stakes, and drama, continues to captivate visitors.
