Cape Town Freedom Day

Cape Town is a city calling out to be explored, so why not start the day admiring the vistas from atop Table Mountain. There is also the chance to head out to the south-western tip of South Africa, Cape Point; discover the delightful Cape Winelands or just enjoy the delights of Camps Bay.

Day 3

Cape Town Freedom Day

Cape Town Freedom Day

This is it, your last day in Cape Town to explore at your own pace. With such a rich history, Cape Town still has visible scars from its apartheid days. We suggest a day trip to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years in prison. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can take a walk through the old prison as well as a bus ride around the island with a fascinating commentary on places of note.
