A tour of Robben Island and The Long March to Freedom

Such an amazing tour from start to finish with Beyond Africa Safaris. I will book with them again if I'm ever back in The Motherland.

A must visit if you in Cape Town

We booked this tour with Kabura Travel. We were picked up by our hotel and transferred to Robben Island. We learnt a lot about Nelson Mandela and the history of South Africa. The whole trip to the island and back is about 4 hours. Thanks to KABURA Travel for such a wonderful service.

Fraud

Use a Uber (10$) to Long Walk To Freedom and buy yourself at ticket for ferry to Robben Island (40$). For me this is fraud

Fraud!

Fraud! Take a Uber (6-7$) to Long Walk to freedom and pay the entrance (7$). Then visit the harbour with ferry and buy a ticket to Robben Island (40$)
