The Robben Island Museum (RIM) in Cape Town has announced that it will be closed to the public on Friday,  07 March 2025 for an Organisational Wellness Day. As a result, all tours to Robben Island will be unavailable on this date to accommodate the event, which will take place on the island.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Robben Island Museum is one of South Africa’s most significant historical landmarks. Located approximately 7 km off the coast of Cape Town, the island is best known as the site where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners were held during apartheid. Today, the museum offers guided tours led by former political prisoners, providing visitors with powerful first-hand insights into the island’s history and its role in the country’s struggle for freedom.
