William Humphreys Art Gallery

Reviewed By Majubandoda - Johannesburg, South Africa

Our second visit to this magnificent museum. Managed by the most wonderful, caring and passionate staff, they were extremely welcoming and happy to see us and made our visit even more special. Unfortunately the fabulous tea room did not survive COVID ????????, so no delicious tea and scones. Still an extensive and exciting art collection well laid out and a pleasure to visit. Please people visit this wonderful museum, they need our support! Unfortunately no photos inside, but some lovely art work outside. Come artists and art lovers you must visit!!!

Kimberley Mine Museum

Restored buildings at this historic site include a pub, a smoke shop and the De Beers family home. The mine itself is an astonishing crater from which over 22 million tons of earth has been removed by hand.

Reviewed By Jdewitt7108 - Milnerton, South Africa

We love this museum and come back year after year. It really gives a real feeling of how Kimberley was in the warly years. Most buildings are original. The tram ride is also a definate must and it enhances the whole experience. Visit it different part of the day morning/Afternoon and early evening to get a different experience.

Mokala National Park

Reviewed By brentr382 - Stellenbosch, South Africa

Very pleasantly surprised by this park. Great sightings of rare game (Sable and Roan antelope, Rhinos). Stayed at the Motswedi campsite which was amazing. Only 6 sites surrounding a watering hole providing a constant stream of game. For a short stay, I suggest the southern section of the park (Motswedi Campsite or Most Lodge), nicer scenery and all of our game sightings were in the Southern section. Well worth 2 or 3 nights!

From on top of Magersfontein Hill you can see the whole battlefield and then drive down and see the various monuments. The video clip has you with the Boers inside their trenches with the British walking into the ambush.
