Description
You're not visiting a museum, you're walking an active kimberlite diamond mine that has produced more +400-carat stones than anywhere else on Earth. A specialist guide takes you through the working surface infrastructure, explains the full extraction process from blast to sorting, and connects you to the mine's extraordinary record, including the 3,106-carat rough diamond now set in the British Crown Jewels. Door-to-door hotel transfers, Wi-Fi, and bottled water are included, and the experience ends at an on-site diamond market where certified stones sell at mine prices. This is as close as you get to where the world's most significant diamonds actually come from.
