Cape Town’s history is inextricably linked with that of Robben Island – the prison where Nelson Mandela was jailed for 18 years. Formerly an asylum and leper colony before becoming a prison, today Robben Island stands as a reminder of the past, and a monument to hope for the future.

As a UNESCO World Heritage site, Robben Island (named for the Dutch word for ‘seal’) is a symbol of South Africa’s struggle, a historical landmark, and a vibrant penguin and seal colony.
