Cultural Tour & Robben Island

Cultural Tour & Robben Island

Learn about the history of South Africa’s colonization on this Cape Town cultural tour


Overview
Learn more about the history of colonization of South Africa and meet friendly locals on this Cape Town cultural tour. Visit the townships of Langa, Guguletu, Crossroads and Khayelitsha and get a glimpse of the African way of life. Khayelitsha is one of South Africa’s fastest growing townships and a leading tourist destination. The townships in Cape Town have a number of craft and training centres and ‘shebeens’ (an African word for taverns). Tour the well known "Bo-Kaap" (traditional Malay Quarters) and visit the District Six Museum. The museum was named after the sixth Municipal District of Cape Town in 1867 and will give you an insight into the apartheid era. Further on, continue by boat to Robben Island, 12 kilometers from Cape Town. Robben Island was used as a prison for nearly 400 years and many South African political prisoners were imprisoned here during the Apartheid era. Tour the island and see the prison cell where the world’s most famous prisoner, Nelson Mandela was kept for 27 years! As you come to the end of the tour, you will have discovered more about the history of colonization of South Africa and the oppression suffered by the blacks during the apartheid era.
