Robben Island
South Africa
Best for: History, Introspective, Authentic, Quiet, Inspiring, Walking Tours
The island prison where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years, now a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most moving history lessons in Africa. Ferries leave from Cape Town's V&A Waterfront.
Tours are led by former political prisoners and include the limestone quarry and Mandela's cell. Book ahead — crossings depend on weather and sell out in peak season. Pair with a Cape Town day.
