Township Tour including visit to Robben Island
Duration:
1 day(s) - Location:
Cape Flats and Robben Island
Instant Booking Available
On arrival, tourists often discover that they did not understand the extent to which previous race classification laws fragmented our society. Many people who the visitor originally assumed were defined as Black were in fact classified as Coloured or Indian and did not live in the townships, but in other designated areas. We take our visitors into the Townships, but preserve the integrity of this Cape Town day tour by also introducing them to the traditional Malay Quarter known as Bo-Kaap, as well as Athlone, Rylands and District 6. These areas were defined as Coloured areas with Rylands having being defined as an Indian area.

Following your visit to the townships you will depart for Robben Island by ferry where you will tour the infamous island. Having incarcerated Nelson Mandela for 19 of his 27 years in jail under apartheid, Robben Island (meaning seal Island in old Dutch) has become a symbol of South Africa's remarkable transformation. Apart from housing political prisoners, the island was also used as a lunatic asylum, leper colony and general dumping place for chronically ill patients. Tours in and around the prison are guided by ex-inmates who are able to provide great insight into the day to day life of a Robben Island Prisoner.
On your return we will transfer you back to your Hotel.
