Madiba spent 18 years imprisoned on Robben Island, which is located just under 7km from off the coast of Bloubergstrand, Cape Town. This is a three to 5-hour excursion. Website: www.robben-island.org.za

Known for where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for years. Visit various heritage sites that reflect the Island’s 500 year multi-layered history.
