One of our stops along the journey between Cape Town and Kruger National Park is the Nelson Mandela Capture Site near Howick, KwaZulu Natal.

Nelson Mandela was arrested on 5 August 1962 at this spot after which he spent 27 years of his life in prison as a political prisoner. The Nelson Mandela Capture Site commemorates this moment in history with a visitor centre and a world renowned sculpture.

Most of our delicious meals are at great restaurants and eateries along the way, but there is always one good braai (barbecue) cooked up by Mike and Rogan.
