Cape Town is referred to as the ‘windy city’ due to its strong seasonal winds, but is infamous for Table Mountain, which looms over the city centre and is easily accessible by cable car. A must-see in Cape Town is Robben Island, where global icon, Rohihlanhla Nelson Mandela, (the first African President of South Africa), had been imprisoned for 27 years.
