South Africa Safaris: Premier Diamond Mine Tour ~ Surface

The small town of Cullinan lies 100km (70 miles) northeast of Johannesburg, where the open grassland of the highveld gives way to the bushveld stretching away to the north. The town owes its existence to the Premier Diamond Mine, established in 1902 by Thomas Cullinan. The famous 3 106-carat Cullinan diamond was discovered here in 1905 and, although no longer in its original form, remains unequalled in size. A short video presentation offers an introduction to the diamond mining industry in South Africa, followed by a guided walking tour of the mine surface. After the tour, refreshments are available (not included) before returning to Johannesburg.
