Kleinzee is easy to find. Take the N7 from Cape Town, travel for about 560 km and then veer left at Springbok, following the course of the Skaap River, which merges with Buffels River on its way to the sea. Set on the coast, Kleinzee (sometimes referred to as Kleinsee) was a diamond mining town, tourists visited as part of the diamond route. Until De Beers closed their mining operations. By the end of 2011 the 370 houses in Kleinzee were mostly empty and the town's population had dwindled from about 7000 to 1000. The media spoke about it as a 'ghost town'.
