Take a boat trip to Robben Island with your guide, and hear the troubled history surrounding one of the world’s most famous political prisoners, surely the best loved South African of all. Nelson Mandela’s story is brought to life as you approach the island where he was held captive for eighteen years - be sure to look back across the water at the view he knew so well. Your guide will point out landmarks which otherwise would remain unnoticed, and you’ll discover a remarkably different side of the Mother City.
