Robben Island: A Symbol of Hope and Freedom

Begin your adventure at Robben Island, a renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site just off the coast of Cape Town. The island is most famous as the place where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years, along with other leaders who played pivotal roles in the struggle for freedom and democracy in South Africa. During your visit, you will join a professionally guided tour that shares the compelling stories of perseverance, courage and hope that shaped the nation’s history.

The tour also highlights the broader significance of Robben Island in South African history, providing insight into its use over the centuries and its transformation from a place of isolation to one of remembrance and education.

Groot Constantia: South Africa’s Oldest Wine Estate

Continue your experience at Groot Constantia, located in the picturesque Constantia Valley. Established in 1685, Groot Constantia is the oldest wine estate in the country and remains a symbol of the region’s rich winemaking heritage. Wander among rolling vineyards and historic Cape Dutch buildings, and take in panoramic views of the estate and valley beyond. Your ticket includes entry to the estate, where you are free to explore the grounds, gardens and the impressive architecture that has been preserved for centuries.

Groot Constantia’s grounds offer a unique window into the evolution of South African wine culture, making it a must-see for history enthusiasts, nature lovers and anyone keen to experience local tradition. Please note that wine tastings are not included in your ticket price and can be purchased on-site for an additional charge.
