SPECIAL INTEREST HISTORY TOUR

ROUTE TO RESOURCES

OVERVIEW
Your route around the Cape traces footsteps that reveal far more than 350-years of colonial overlay and influence. The HISTORY tour contextualises prevailing mind sets and looks at the value systems of the day. By following Africa’s resources and unravelling their appropriation, you discover how the landscape was claimed, tamed - and shaped.

The symbolic reclamation of Robben Island from prison to pilgrimage destination questions how people got there in the first place. From the Gateway to Africa grasp the complexity of the country where you are addressed in at least three languages daily, summonsed alternatively by church bells and the call of the muezzin and startled by the noon day gun.
