• Robben Island Museum - Located in Table Bay, Cape Town, Robben Island was named by the Dutch and later referred to as Seal Island by the British. Historically, it served as an animal quarantine station, a leper colony, and a place for isolating political prisoners. Remarkably, three former inmates, Nelson Mandela, Kgalema Motlanthe, and Jacob Zuma, have become Presidents of South Africa. In 1999, Robben Island was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site and now offers daily tours. These tours commence at the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V&A Waterfront.

After being picked up from your Cape Town hotel, you will be transported to the V&A Waterfront to board the Robben Island Ferry. This ferry takes you to the renowned site where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 of his 27 years. Often referred to as “South Africa’s Alcatraz,” the island was a leper colony and a place of isolation, banishment, and imprisonment. It stands as a poignant reminder of the harsh conditions endured in the fight for freedom from apartheid. The tour, led by former prison warders or ex-prisoners, is both historical and educational. After the tour, you will return to the Waterfront by ferry.

• Cape Town - Cape Town boasts a variety of restaurants offering delectable international and traditional African cuisine from countries like South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola, Congo, and Ethiopia. A visit to one of these establishments will surely be a delightful experience. You can also opt to try the renowned South African braai (barbecue) and Malay curry dishes that Cape Town is famous for.

• Table Mountain - Following lunch, you will head to Table Mountain, recently voted one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. A cable car ride, lasting three minutes, will take you to the summit, offering breathtaking views as it rotates on its ascent. From the top, enjoy the stunning vistas of the Mother City and the Atlantic seaboard with its world-class beaches. After spending time at the summit, you will descend via the cable car to the base station.

This tour offers a unique chance to explore two key landmarks that have vastly influenced South Africa’s status as the premier tourist spot in Africa.
Robben Island, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999, was the place of incarceration for the renowned global leader Nelson Mandela, along with two former inmates who later became Presidents of South Africa.
Previously a site of imprisonment for many political prisoners during apartheid, it now attracts over 306,912 guests (according to the 2018/19 figures).
Table Mountain, which was honored as one of the new Seven Wonders of Nature on December 2, 2012, stands as the only one in an urban setting, a fact that played a part in drawing over 1,161,206 tourists to this emblematic terrain (based on 2018/19 data).
