Day 15 - Table Mountain and Robben Island
This morning we make the cable car ascent of Table Mountain
(weather dependent), to enjoy panoramic views of the city. The
steep cliffs and rocky outcrops are home to a number of different
animals and plants. Complimenting the vast array of flora is a
stunning range of fauna, some of which, like the Table Mountain
Ghost Frog, are found in no other place in the world.
Following some free time for lunch, this afternoon we then
descend as we take a ferry across Table Bay for a guided tour of
Robben Island (weather dependent) where Nelson Mandela was
imprisoned for 18 years between 1964 and 1982. Afterward, we visit
the UNESCO World Heritage listed attraction to Kirstenbosch, where
we enjoy a guided tour of the botanical gardens, nestled at the
foot of table mountain.
Overnight Cape Town.
