Kimberley Big Hole

Kimberley City Hall

The Diggers' Memorial

The McGregor Museum

Visit the largest hand-dug excavation in the world, the famous Big Hole, and be transported back in time to the very beginning of Kimberley. The Big Hole is a massive excavation, 214 meters deep with a surface area of 17 hectares and a perimeter of 1.6 km.

The Kimberley City Hall was built in 1899 just before the start of the Anglo-Boer War.
It reflects the influence of Neoclassical architecture in South Africa. 

The Diggers' Memorial fountain in the Ernest Oppenheimer Gardens was erected in honour of diggers past and present.
The gardens are a memorial to the late Sir Ernest Oppenheimer, a mining magnate who was the first mayor of Kimberley.

The McGregor Museum houses natural history and cultural history collections including a botanical herbarium, zoology collections, a history archive, ethnography collections, archaeology and rock art collections, physical anthropology, palaeontology and geology collections.
