Arrival
Your Amazing Africa Guide will meet you at Cape Town International Airport. The day will be devoted to exploring the City of Cape Town. Stops will include the Company’s Gardens, the Cape Town Castle, Signal Hill and Table Mountain with the cable car. Spectacular views of the city, the Peninsula and Robben Island will leave guests in awe.
You will also have the opportunity to visit Robben Island after lunch. A short ferry ride from the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront takes you to the island. Home to President Nelson Mandela where he was imprisoned for 27 years, this prison has since been turned into a museum. Ex-political prisoners will conduct the guiding at the museum and they had first-hand experience of what life has been on the Island.
Your friendly guide will suggest dinner-options.
