You have probably heard that Cape Town has a lot to offer to its visitors, that is true. One of advantages of doing this tour, is that you will visit two of the most iconic landmarks of Cape Town, Table Mountain and Robben Island in one day.
These days a trip to Robben Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-do on the itinerary of any tourist to Cape Town.
Forget palm trees and sun-kissed beaches; Robben Island’s allure lies rich in History. South Africa’s first democratically elected president – Nelson Mandela – spent 18 years of his 27 years in prison on Robben Island. Easily the most famous of the island’s political prisoners, Mandela was by no means the island’s only notable inmate – South African presidents Kgalema Motlanthe and Jacob Zuma also spent time there.
When You hear the name Cape Town, You think of Table Mountain. From the top you will have a panoramic view of city bowl, the beaches, Robben Island, the harbour and the sea side of this the Mother City.
After we have picked you up, your guide will give a brief description of how the day will be like. Here, you can discuss with your guide and make some changes, if necessary, in order to make your tour more personalized.
As you make your way through the corridors of the prison on Robben Island, you get transported to a painful time in South African history. Standing in the jail cell that housed Nelson Mandela for so many years makes the emotional story of the South African struggle for democracy and equality hit home.
A trip to Robben Island is a bittersweet experience, but it is highly recommended to anyone visiting Cape Town.
The island has been reinvented many times over the years: by turns a leper colony, a colonial prison, a whaling station, an animal quarantine area and a defensive military base, this World Heritage Site’s most famous incarnation was as a political prison for anti-apartheid activists like late former president Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.
When you set foot on the island, you’re able to see the cell in which Mandela, the world’s most famous prisoner, was held for 18 of the 27 years he was incarcerated. It’s a place many have come to pay homage to freedom fighters

There is plenty of history about Table Mountain. People have been traveling to this famous South African landmark for centuries. It is known to be one of the oldest mountains in the world. And today a regular attraction for locals and tourists from all over the world, taking part in hiking and other outdoor activities.
Despite, being ever changing with natural erosion and rock formation, Table Mountain is said to be over 200 million years old (with some rocks around the base estimated at 500 million years old). And it has lived through a timeless series of events that have all helped shape their way into South Africa and Cape Town’s history. It can also trace some of its roots back to the Stone Age, as findings of rock cutting tools and axes were discovered in Kirstenbosch Gardens.
Before the Dutch settlers arrived, Table Mountain was home to the KhoiKhoi and San peoples, who migrated to the Cape Peninsula over 2000 years back.
