Cape Town Cultural & Robben Island Tour
Guided by our personal tour guide, this tour stopped at a couple of townships, including Langa and Nyanga, but the main highlights were visiting the District Six Museum and seeing Nelson Mandela's cell on Robben Island.

| District Six Museum It showcases the forceful removal of over 60,000 inhabitants from the District Six neighborhood using actual newspapers, photographs, memorabilia, and structural items from that time. |

| The ferry trip from Cape Town to Robben Island is roughly 45 minutes. |
 |
| The tour guide was an ex-political prisoner during the same time as Nelson Mandela. After his release and removing himself away from the political world, it was hard for him to find a job. The Robben Island Tour called him up. At first, he was against it given his time at the prison. But he finally agreed to be a tour guide and now he enjoys his job.

Wine Tasting Experience
Before we began, our experienced Cape Wine guide asked each of us what type of wine we liked. Based on our preferences, he created a tour we would all enjoy. Due to it only being a Half-Day tour (cheekily named 'Wine Sampler'), we had our experience at 3 wine estates in Franschhoek (which is located 30 minutes from Stellenbosch, roughly an hour from Cape Town) - Solms Delta, Moreson, and Rickety Bridge.
Safari
So, what does one get into when their whole morning/afternoon is free before catching their flight back home to the States that night? Why, go on a safari tour, of course! This took place at the Inverdoorn located in Ceres which is a 2.5 hour journey from Cape Town. Yep, a long ass drive but so worth it.

Officially one of the new 7 Wonders of the World, Table Mountain is known for its flat top and overlooks the city of Cape Town. How does one get up there? Well, you must take an aerial cableway. But, hey, if you're feeling insane adventurous, you can hike your way to the top, too.
