Depending on your plans you could decide to rent a car for the duration of your stay. The roads around Kimberley are in good condition and a lot of them are long stretches, however police carefully monitor traffic speeds so don’t overdo it else you’ll risk being fined. Renting a car also gives you the flexibility to visit neighboring areas if you want which can help you see more of the region. Kimberley is also the only city in South Africa with an operational tram service so this is also an option to get around, although it does occasionally need maintenance or repairs.
