Why Travelers Love This
This is a great tour which combines two of the best in Cape Town. The world famous Robben Island now a world Heritage site with the prison where Nelson Mandela spend 18 of his 27 years of incarceration. The history of South Africa comes alive at this place. The treatment of the political prisoners at the hands of forces of apartheid is so moving. The travelers are taken to Cape Of Good Hope one of the most historic locations in Africa. A very important geographical location in the world. With thousand of years of history and the role it played during the trade between the East and the West. The participation of this place in the Second world War and the rich biodiversity brings in thousands of local and international visitors annually. The drive to and from Cape Point is out of this world with white sand beaches and an amazing coastal drive. The landscape is amazing, the cliffs , mountains and of course Chapman's Peak drive. There are very few tours which can match this in Africa.
