Kimberley's greatest attraction is that of its history. Unfortunately, many people drive through and stop for a few hours to see the 'Big Hole'. Believe it not there are five big holes in the city, all of which are within a few kilometers of each other.
There are enough sites to keep one busy for at least 2 to 3 days. These would include:
Big Hole Museum ( R 50 million upgrade starting from 2004)
Underground Diamond Mine tours( weekdays only)
access to the Rooifontein Game farm(+- 3 km from Aquarius)
historic Boer War sites i.e. Magersfontein
game hunting or sightseeing within close proximity of Kimberley
fly fishing for 'yellows' in the Vaal or Riet Rivers
the Flamingo Casino, for those avid gamblers next to the Golf Club
Aquarius has been designed to make your stay in the Northern Cape to be as comfortable as can be. Even though it is mainly self-catering accommodation, it does provide a B & B service (Bed and Breakfast) by providing continental breakfasts if requested.
