Robben Island
A museum since 1997, Robben Island showcases its 400 years as a place of exile and imprisonment. Those unwanted by society or considered political troublemakers were sent to the island in an attempt to suppress their beliefs. South Africa’s first democratic President, Nelson Mandela was imprisoned here for twenty-seven years with other indigenous African leaders. A standard tour includes a boat trip to and from the island and a tour of the prison by a former inmate.
