Full Day Township & Robben Island Heritage Tour

Cape Town

Activity Description

Langa is one of ten areas that were established during the apartheid era designated for Black Africans. The name Langa means ‘sun’ in the Xhosa language, but the name of the township derived from a famous chief who was incarcerated on Robben Island for rebelling against the South African government.
During a township tour with your Langa born and bred guide, you’ll experience Langa and meet many people who actively work to make a difference throughout the community.
We combine this with a tour of Robben Island where political activist and lawyer Nelson Mandela was sentenced to 27 years imprisonment and served 18 years before the fall of apartheid and introduction of a full, multi-racial democracy. He was later awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and was elected in 1994 as President of South Africa, becoming the country’s first ever black president and served one term from 1994–1999

Customer Reviews

This was a memorable trip, the township guide Mandoza was very knowledgeable and really helped us understand the townships. It was a tough visit emotionally but the positive attitude was quite humbling. On the day the ferry was cancelled but our guide Andelay managed to get us on an alternative ship, so cant fault them at all. - Janet
