The day begins with a cable car ride up to the summit of the legendary Table Mountain, where you can enjoy breathtaking views

of the city. After descending the mountain, drive past the Castle of Good Hope, the country’s oldest building, and a short distance

away, the Company Gardens, both historically fascinating and well-conserved. Nearby landmarks include the Slave Lodge, Houses

of Parliament and City Hall, where Nelson Mandela made his first public speech after his release from prison in 1990. Marvel at

the vibrant colors of the quaint Bo-Kaap homes in the Malay Quarter. Round off the morning with lunch at one of the city's

popular restaurants (under own account). Make your way back to the hotel.

This afternoon, make your way to The V&A Waterfront in time to board the ferry to Robben Island, home of Nelson Mandela for

so many years. Formerly a political prison and a leper colony, Robben Island is a national monument and a World Heritage Site.

Get familiar with the conditions of incarceration – view Nelson Mandela’s maximum security prison cell (Cell 5) and see the lime

quarries. This well-preserved historic landmark pays tribute to the triumph of freedom, dignity and determination over

humiliation and oppression

Robben Island Ferry: Robben Island is

now a World Heritage Site with stunning

views across the bay with Table Mountain

as its backdrop. For nearly 400 years

Robben Island, 7½miles/12kms off the coast

from Cape Town was a place of banishment,

exile, isolation and imprisonment. It is a

highly charged and emotional moment

when you visit the site of this suffering, and

realize how far South Africa has come from

those days.

DAY BY DAY ITINERARY:

Then tonight you will be transferred to a unique dinner experience. Gold Restaurant at the Gold of Africa Museum in Cape Town

opened recently. Dinner is served outside under a huge awning structure, which can be drawn on all sides should the weather

become inclement. Guests should bring something warm to wear around their shoulders, although Gold Restaurant do provide

brightly coloured Kikois to keep you warm lest you should forget a wrap. There is a set menu which consists of 16 different dishes

from throughout Africa.

The staff brings the food to your table in African bowls and the dishes and their origins are explained. During the meal you are

entertained by beautifully attired singers and dancers as well as interactive drumming. Their costumes were painstakingly

researched and designed to reflect the different cultures throughout Africa. Be prepared for a vibrant evening of color, music,

food, song and dance; the perfect venue if you want to experience something that is uniquely African!
