3About Kimberley
Kimberley, the Northern Cape's diamond city, sits at the crossing of the N12 and N8, so most road trippers passing through come down from Joburg (468km) or up via Cape Town way. Local jaunts to Barkly West and Windsorton make easy day trips, and the airport is just 10km out of town. Don't miss the Big Hole, dug by hand and still one of the biggest man-made holes on earth, right in the CBD. A couple of fast chargers are on hand too if you're driving electric.
