Kimberley is one of the largest cities in South Africa and is the capital city of the Northern Cape Province. The city is located at the center of South Africa between Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Kimberley is a historical city which is significantly linked to the discovery and the mining of diamonds since the 1860s.
Being such a historical city, Kimberley is home to famous museums and moments where you can explore the history of the area. These include the Big Hole, the McGregor Museum, the William Humphreys Art Gallery and many other monuments. Kimberley is also known for its railway industry that was vital to the transportation of goods as mining flourished rapidly.

The city is located very close to some of South Africa’s notable national parks such as the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, the Kalahari Gemsboks National Parks and more.
