Overview

This tour provides the traveler with a rare opportunity of visiting very popular attractions which have significantly contributed towards South Africa being the leading African tourist destination.

Tourists will visit Robben Island. It is a world renowned Island notorious for the incarceration of South African political prisoners including Nelson Mandela. This was a common stopping point for passing ships in the 16th and 17th century.

Visit world’s greatest exhibition in bronze! Long March to Freedom is a one-of-a-kind monumental procession of life-size bronze statues, telling the story of 350 years of South Africa’s struggle history through the lives of the persons represented. The Long March to Freedom exhibition, which currently consists of 100 figures that will grow into a procession of more than 400 bronze statues over time, is known as the world’s largest representational collection of bronzes.

    This is a tour where information is provided by people who lived the experience and not guides who had to study to acquire the necessary qualifications. The Guides here are ex-political prisoners and ex wardens who either worked or were imprisoned at the same time with political prisoners like Nelson Mandela.
