Of course I move to the other side of the world for a reason, this city has
so much to offer ....
We start the day by showing you the highlights of Cape Town. From one of the 7 global
wonders of nature, namely Table Mountain, the views are breathtakingly beautiful.

stores.

a rock formation on which hundreds of fur seals find their home. We drive further along
Chapman's Peak, a picturesque mountain pass that connects Hout Bay with Noordhoek and one
of the most beautiful coastal roads in the world. We drive on through the rugged coast to the most
South-western point of the African continent, "Cape Point" where the Indian and the
Atlantic Ocean meet. We offer the possibility of a walk there

Day 11 Cape Town, viewed differently African Palm Cottage
Today we visit the slums, as they are also part of South-Africa's daily reality.
The "Township Tour" starts in District 6, where we will be offered a brief explanation
of the history of this neighbourhood, in which thousands of people were driven out of their homes
during the Apartheid years. Then we continue to Langa, the oldest township in Cape Town.
We do this tour in collaboration with a local organization, managed by people who live in the
township themselves. This way we get a much more realistic and intense view on its daily life
and its residents. We will also visit some of the township's employment projects.
In the afternoon we embark on a boat that brings us to Robben Island, the notorious prison
where Nelson Maandela was locked up for the greatest part of his life. We will be shown how prisoners
like Nelson Mandela lived there.

way to enjoy your last day.
