Description

Before the prison tour, your experience takes an exciting turn as you explore the vibrant and lively Langa Township. Led by friendly local guides, you'll be welcomed with open arms as they share their community's culture, traditions, and aspirations. Engage with locals, hear their stories, and witness the creativity of their craftspeople. Get hands-on and participate in workshops to learn traditional arts and crafts, such as beadwork or pottery. You'll also have the opportunity to sample various authentic dishes, from spicy Cape Malay curries to deliciously braaied (grilled) meats, paired with local wines or refreshing craft beers. To better understand Langa's history and progress, visit community projects and social initiatives that empower the locals. Witness the community's resilience and the positive change they are bringing about. Throughout your journey, you'll be touched by the spirit of Ubuntu – the African philosophy of interconnectedness and compassion. This transformative experience will leave you with a profound appreciation for human nature and the power of unity and understanding. As you bid farewell to this remarkable corner of the world, the memories and lessons will continue to inspire you on your future adventures. As they say in South Africa, 'Hamba Kahle' – go well on your journey! After the exciting morning from the township, we head straight to the clock tower to board the ferry to Robben Island. Embark on an exhilarating and eye-opening journey in Cape Town, South Africa, as you visit Robben Island. This captivating experience will immerse you in the rich history, culture, and resilience of the people of this region. As you set foot on the ferry to Robben Island, you'll feel a sense of anticipation building within you. The island served as a political prison during the apartheid era, and your knowledgeable guides will share fascinating stories of the struggles and triumphs of the political prisoners, including icons like Nelson Mandela. Stand before Mandela's cell, and you'll feel a profound connection to history.
