Robben Island Museum - Walking through the prison corridors on Robben Island transports you to a poignant period in South African history. Standing in the cell where Nelson Mandela was held for many years brings the emotional narrative of South Africa’s fight for democracy and equality to life. A visit to Robben Island is a moving experience and is highly recommended for anyone visiting Cape Town. Over the years, the island has served various purposes: a leper colony, a colonial prison, a whaling station, an animal quarantine area, and a military base. Its most renowned role was as a political prison for anti-apartheid activists, including the late former president Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. On the island, you can see the cell where Mandela, the world’s most famous prisoner, spent 18 of his 27 years of incarceration. It is a place where many come to honor freedom fighters.

Table Mountain Aerial Cableway - Table Mountain is steeped in history, with people visiting this iconic South African landmark for centuries. It is considered one of the oldest mountains globally and is a popular destination for locals and tourists who enjoy hiking and other outdoor activities. Despite natural erosion and rock formation changes, Table Mountain is believed to be over 200 million years old, with some rocks at its base estimated to be 500 million years old. It has witnessed countless events that have shaped South Africa and Cape Town’s history. Artifacts such as rock cutting tools and axes found in Kirstenbosch Gardens trace its roots back to the Stone Age. Before the arrival of Dutch settlers, the KhoiKhoi and San peoples inhabited Table Mountain, migrating to the Cape Peninsula over 2000 years ago.

Today, a visit to Robben Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an essential part of any tourist’s itinerary in Cape Town. While it may not boast palm trees and sun-drenched beaches, Robben Island’s charm is steeped in history. Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first democratically elected president, spent 18 of his 27 years in prison on Robben Island. Although Mandela is the most renowned of the island’s political prisoners, he was not the only notable inmate; South African presidents Kgalema Motlanthe and Jacob Zuma also served time there.
When the name Cape Town is mentioned, Table Mountain often comes to mind. From its summit, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city bowl, the beaches, Robben Island, the harbor, and the seaside of this Mother City.
