Robben Island: Next, we delve into South Africa’s rich history with a trip to Robben Island, which is most famous as the place where Nelson Mandela, the first democratically elected president of South Africa during the apartheid era, was imprisoned for 18 of his 27 years in jail during the apartheid era. This UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), World Heritage site served as a political prison. A guided tour provides a poignant and educational insight into the country’s struggle for freedom and democracy.
