The Ultimate Guide To Exploring While Visiting Tours To Kimberley

Kimberley is a city in the Northern Cape province of South Africa that was founded in 1848. It has a population of approximately 70,000 people, making it the fourth smallest city in South Africa. Affordable Tours to Kimberley Packages are well known for its diamond mines and the Big Hole, which is one of the largest excavated holes on earth.

The Big Hole was discovered by accident when H.W. Allan (one of the founders) hit his pickaxe against an outcrop while digging a hole for water pipes near his home in 1870

Visit the Big Hole

The Big Hole is a Kimberley landmark, and it's also one of the most popular tourist attractions in the region. This open-pit mine was dug out by hand over several years by prisoners, who were forced to work under terrible conditions. The hole is now filled with water from underground springs and offers visitors an opportunity to swim in its cool waters.

The local indigenous people consider this site sacred--so if you're planning on visiting, please be respectful and avoid touching anything or taking photographs without permission from park rangers!

Go on a safari

If you're visiting Kimberley, there's no better way to experience the region than by going on a safari. There are two places in particular where you can do this: Luederitz and Prince Albert.

Luederitz has some of the best game lodges in South Africa, including The Big Five Game Lodge and Waterberg Bush Lodge. If you want to explore the area on foot or by vehicle, these lodges offer guided tours that allow you see all kinds of wildlife up close--or from a distance if they're too far away!
If staying overnight isn't an option for you but still want some great views while driving through Northern Cape Province areas like Richtersveld National Park or Namib Desert Reserve then consider taking one of their day trips instead (they offer many different types including self-drive).

Walk along Miners' Ridge

It's time to get moving! The Miners' Ridge is a walking track that runs along the base of the ridge, so it can be accessed from any point along its length. The walk is about 5km long and takes about 2 hours, depending on your pace and how often you stop for photos. It's not difficult (although there are some steep sections), but it does require some stamina because there aren't many opportunities for rest breaks along the way.

The views fr om this part of Kimberley are incredible--you'll see Mount Woodside in front of you as well as many other landmarks including Cathedral Gorge and Seven Mile Hill Station in West Arthur; Steep Point lighthouse at Cape Bougainvillea; Lake Argyle; Kings Canyon National Park; Bungle Bungles National Park...and if you're lucky enough, maybe even some wild brumbies!

See dinosaur footprints at Picket Post museum

Picket Post museum is located at 27km from the town of Picket Post, which is just off the highway to Broome. The museum has an extensive collection of dinosaur footprints and bones that have been found in the area over time. There are also some interesting displays on Aboriginal culture as well as information about how dinosaurs evolved into birds and reptiles.

The best time to visit is during the Dry season (April - October), as there's less chance of rain then than in other seasons. You'll also avoid crowds during this period because many tourists go away for holidays during these months!
