About Kimberley
Founded in 1871 following the discovery of diamonds on a nearby farm, Kimberley's history is the story of the diamond. The city rapidly grew around the 'Big Hole' as fortune seekers from across the globe descended, leading to the formation of De Beers Consolidated Mines by Cecil John Rhodes. This history is meticulously preserved in the city's centerpiece, the Kimberley Mine Museum, an open-air museum that recreates the mining town of the 1880s. Culturally, Kimberley is a tapestry of influences, from the indigenous San and Khoi peoples to the European miners and the diverse labour force drawn from across Southern Africa. The city is famous not only for diamonds but also for its pivotal role in the Anglo-Boer War, with the Siege of Kimberley being a significant event. Key districts include the historic city centre around the Big Hole, the civic area with its museums and galleries like the William Humphreys Art Gallery, and the more modern residential suburbs. It's a city where Victorian architecture sits alongside modern developments, all under the vast, open Northern Cape sky.
Best Time to Visit Kimberley
The best time to visit Kimberley is during the autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) months. These seasons offer the most pleasant weather, with warm, sunny days and cool, comfortable nights, ideal for extensive outdoor sightseeing. Summer (December to February) is intensely hot, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms that can be dramatic but may disrupt plans. Winter (June to August) brings dry, sunny days but very cold nights, often dropping below freezing. This is the off-peak season, potentially offering lower accommodation rates. Major events are concentrated in the cooler months. The Kimberley Diamond Cup skateboarding festival is a highlight in September/October. The Kimberley Show, an agricultural and lifestyle exhibition, typically occurs in May. Visiting during the winter off-peak means fewer crowds at major attractions like the Big Hole, but packing for the temperature extremes is essential.
