However, about 10 000 years ago, the Khoisan used the entrance area of the cave as shelter. It was not until 1780 that the Cango Caves were again discovered. In 1891 the first tour was conducted through the Cango Caves. The present tourist route extends for 1,2km into the cave.

For nearly 400 years, Robben Island, 12 kilometres from Cape Town, was a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment. It was here that rulers sent those they regarded as political troublemakers, social outcasts and the unwanted of society.
During the apartheid years Robben Island became internationally known for its institutional brutality. The duty of those who ran the Island and its prison was to isolate opponents of apartheid and to crush their morale. Some freedom fighters spent more than a quarter of a century in prison for their beliefs.
The remainder of the day is at leisure.
Overnight on a Bed & Breakfast basis.
