Take a flight above South Africa's history and discover the location where the former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years. The notorious Robben island, within sight of the city of Cape Town and Table Mountain, acquired its name from the seals that once populated it in multitudes - robben being the Dutch word for seal. On this trip, you’ll see Robben Island as you’ve never seen it before! This flight offers incredible views and a unique perspective of the island, Cape Town City Bowl and V&A Waterfront. And we assure unsurpassed views of Table Mountain.
