  • Robben Island

Though it is a UNESCO world heritage site and overflows with sun-kissed beaches and palm trees, this South African tour is bound to be an emotional one. This is where many political leaders such as Nelson Mandela and other South African presidents were incarcerated. During the later years, it was used as the quarantine for lepers. After that, it was used as a military base during World War II. There’s a good chance that you might still find frontiers and artillery batteries there. However, more than 132 species of birds have made their home there now and this island is a sight to sore eyes while it still instills a wretched feeling of immense melancholy while telling its tale.
