South Africa is one of the best destinations worldwide for watching marine mammals, whether from land or from boats, with spectacular annual visits from southern right and humpback whales and enormous pods of dolphins year-round.
Every year, southern right whales migrate from their icy feeding grounds off Antarctica to warmer climates, reaching South Africa in June. The country's coastal waters teem with the giant animals, mating, calving and rearing their young - and giving whale-watchers spectacular displays of raw power and elegant water acrobatics.

For nearly 400 years, Robben Island, 12 km from Cape Town, was a place of banishment, exile, isolation & imprisonment. It was here that rulers sent those they regarded as political troublemakers, social outcasts & the unwanted of society. Those imprisoned on the Island succeeded on a psychological & political level in turning a prison 'hell-hole' into a symbol of freedom & personal liberation.
