About Wolmaransstad

Wolmaransstad is a city in the North West of South Africa. It is close to the cities of Cape Town and Bloemhof. This city is very essential for the country because of its mines that have abundant supply of diamonds. It is known for having a lot of companies that rely on the alluvial method of mining. This is when a river or any body of water erodes the soil to expose the diamonds. Maize production would be the next on the list. The city has a lot of farmlands that have been so helpful for both the locals and the tourists.

The Digger’s Diamond Route is one of the main reasons more and more tourists are booking cheap flights to Wolmaransstad. The main attraction here is the Big Hole.
