“This trip was a very good one! At 84 years young, I have traveled extensively but this was my first Tauck trip. Our
accommodations were luxurious. Our meals were delicious. Our itinerary was well planned and interesting and our Tauck guide was efficient, well versed in the area and customs, good company and a gentleman who displayed concern for each and every one of us individually and our group as a whole. I hope to take another trip with you.

2. GUIDED DISCOVERIES ON ROBBEN ISLAND Tauck has arranged a visit to Robben Island (weather permitting), recognized as a World Heritage Site for its key role in South African history. The site of an extraordinary nature reserve and former whaling station, this island is probably best known for its old maximum security prison. A ferry takes you across Table Bay, with fantastic views of Table Mountain, for a guided “insider’s” tour of the island. Learn about the island’s complex history, visit the prison and see the cell that housed future South African president Nelson Mandela for so many years. South Africa’s wines have enjoyed a royal following since the days of emperors and kings; savor the fruit of the vine along with local specialties at a wine-pairing dinner in Constantia in the Cape Winelands.
