Welcome to Excurzilla, your premier choice for guided excursions to the iconic Robben Island. Nestled in the heart of Table Bay, just off the coast of Cape Town, Robben Island is a place of profound historical significance and natural beauty. Our expertly guided tours offer an immersive experience, allowing you to delve deep into the island's rich past and its role in shaping South Africa's history.
Robben Island is most famously known as the site where Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first black president and a global symbol of resistance against oppression, was imprisoned for 18 of his 27 years in captivity. However, the island's history extends far beyond Mandela's incarceration. It has served various purposes over the centuries, including a leper colony, a mental institution, and a military base.
Our guided tour will take you through the island's multifaceted history, providing insights into its various roles and the lives of those who were confined here. You'll visit the maximum-security prison where Mandela and other political prisoners were held, and see the tiny cell that was Mandela's home for nearly two decades.
