    Rated average from a visual inspection but already closed early on a weekend.

    It is difficult to understand how some sites can be promoted when their closing hours over a weekend are so early! Surely this is something that should be promoted to tourists who visit on weekends?? What a shame as my husband who was a miner...More

    Nice way to break up the day.

    We visited the underground mining tour while staying in Kimberley. It was an overcast day so it was the perfect activity. The train takes you along a river to the opening of part of the mine. There you meet your guide for inside the mine....More

    It was unfortunately closed when we were there as they seem to only open at the height of the tourist season.
