In the early diamond-digging days entertainment was mainly confined to the numerous bars, saloons and other somewhat dismal diversions in Kimberley. The city has come a long way.
Visitors now have a variety of pleasure resorts close by from which to choose.
Some 30 km from the city, on the banks of the Vaal River and right in the centre of South Africa, is the Riverton Pleasure Resort. According to visitors this is spot to be if you are looking for freedom, relaxation and friendliness. The amenities are many and varied. Amongst the trees and lawns are a modern swimming pool, tennis courts and boats available for hire. For nature lovers there are bird aviaries and walks in the country air.
