Visit the mine where the famous Cullinan Diamond was discovered. - The Cullinan kimberlite pipe near Pretoria was discovered in 1902 and open pit mining commenced at the ‘Premier’ mine (as it was then known) in 1903. Ore extraction has been by underground mining methods since 1946. Ore extraction has varied between 2 and 5 Mt per annum and ore treatment between 2 and 7 Mt per annum. The mine was renamed Cullinan as part of its centenary celebrations and to link the mine to the illustrious heritage of the Cullinan diamond, which provided the two main polished diamonds within the British Crown Jewels (the 530 carat Great Star of Africa and the 317 carat Lesser Star of Africa)

Don't do it, waste of money - Only gave this 1 star bcoz I couldn't give it a 0, booked the tour in advance and night before informed the underground tour had been canx-which was a flat out lie as when we got there the tour had been suspended for months, also we naturally couldnt get our money back as we were only told less than 8 hours before trip so no refund allowed!-driver forgot to tell us we needed passports which forced us to turn around and come back adding hours, tour was terrible and over in about half an hour, hand out for tip as usual but 1 wasn't given, one of the worst things we have ever done
