  • District Six Museum

    The District Six Museum is unique in that it serves as a living memorial to a community that was forcibly removed during the apartheid era in South Africa. The museum is located in Cape Town and was established in 1994, in the aftermath of apartheid, to remember and celebrate the vibrant and diverse community that once inhabited District Six. The museum's exhibits and displays showcase the history and culture of District Six, as well as the stories of its former residents, many of whom were forcibly removed from their homes and relocated to other areas. The museum also serves as a platform for dialogue and engagement, hosting a variety of events, talks, and workshops that encourage critical reflection on the past, present, and future of South Africa.

  • Robben Island Museum

    Robben Island served as a prison for over 400 years, where political prisoners were incarcerated during the apartheid era in South Africa. Among them was Nelson Mandela, who spent 18 years of his 27-year prison sentence on the island. The prison was closed in 1996 and the island is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The island is home to a variety of animals, including African penguins, seals, and a variety of bird species. The island has also been declared a nature reserve, and its natural beauty is preserved. The island serves as a symbol of the struggle for freedom and democracy in South Africa. It is an important site for visitors to learn about the country's history and the impact of apartheid on its people. Unique Geology: The island's geology is also unique, with exposed rocks and boulders that are over 500 million years old. The island is also surrounded by turbulent waters, which have resulted in numerous shipwrecks over the years.

Excellent Cultural Tour

Published on Jun, 2024

I highly recommend this trip! Sam was great guiding us through the local history. The history of course is challenging--but was presented in a non-judgemental manner. The visit to Langa Township was amazing--an experience that most do not get. The Robben Island trip was cancelled due to weather on the day booked; I appreciate Sam/Kono Tours arranging the tour for the following day. Robben Island is a tour not to be missed. Great value for the $$----thank you for a wonderful experience!
