About Kimberley

Kimberley is a city in South Africa, and the capital of the Northern Cape. It is located near the confluence of the Vaal and Orange Rivers. The town has considerable historical significance due its diamond mining past and siege during the Second Boer War. Notable personalities such as Cecil Rhodes made their fortune here and the roots of the De Beers corporation can also be traced to the early days of the mining town.

More recently Kimberley has been host to the worlds biggest skateboarding competition, The Maloof Money Cup, which brought thousands of international visitors to this small mining town. This event has put Kimberley on the map as a sure destination for travellers from both south africa and abroad. Come and experience this South African gem with both historical significance and future potential as you take a tour of Kimberley and all it has to offer.
