About Northern Cape, South Africa
The Northern Cape is South Africa’s largest and most sparsely populated province, known for its vast landscapes, desert beauty, and rich mining history. The capital, Kimberley, is famous for its diamond mining heritage, earning it the nickname “The Diamond City.” Kimberley played a crucial role during the late 19th-century diamond rush, which transformed it into a bustling hub after diamonds were discovered in 1866. This led to the establishment of the Big Hole, one of the largest hand-dug excavation sites in the world. The city also witnessed the historic Siege of Kimberley during the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902).
Places to see and activities to do for travellers include The Big Hole and Kimberley Mine Museum, Magersfontein Battlefield, Ghost Tours of Kimberley, Namaqualand, Augrabies Falls National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape
