2 Nights Rail Journey via Kimberley

Traverses the hidden South Africa through the semi-desert landscape into Kimberley.

This often overlooked atmospheric town is made famous as the site of the biggest diamond rushes in the history of mankind, which brings thousands of miners from around the world into the town. The incredibly history which began in 1866 has now left a legacy in the form of an extraordinary Big Hole, renowned as the world's largest man-made excavation. Ever since, the Big Hole has transformed into an interactive tourist experience, providing a recreational insight into the underground world.

Right next to the Big Hole is the insightful Diamond Mine Museum, which houses interesting exhibits including an 1877 hourse, Barney Barnato's boxing academy, a skittle alley, a traditional pub called "Digger's Rest", De Beers railway coach, mock diamond diggings, as well as a reconstruction of the famous De Beers homestead.
