On this itinerary - 

EXPLORE

  • Areas of historical relevance to Mandela's struggle
  • Cape Town's bustling Victoria & Alfred Waterfront

LEARN

  • About the struggle to end Apartheid
  • About South Africa's turbulent socio-political history

TASTE

  • Flavorsome Cape Malay cuisine 

EXPERIENCE

  • The energy of the "Rainbow Nation" with a full day Walk to Freedom Tour (including a visit to Robben Island) in Cape Town
  • An exclusive dinner with Christo Brand, Nelson Mandela's prison warden on Robben Island
  • A full day Journey to Freedom Tour in Johannesburg including visits to the Hector Pieterson Museum, Regina Mundi Church, Apartheid Museum and the option to visit Mandela House
