GAYS DISCOVER THE CAPE
A uniquely spectacular gay destination
Gay & LGBTQ-friendly South Africa
South Africa is truly a unique country. Its 1996 Constitution specifically protects the full and equal rights of the LGBTQ+ community and bans all forms of anti-gay discrimination. In addition, same-sex marriage was legalised in 2006, making South Africa the first African nation and the fifth country in the world to do so.


Positive mindset in South Africa
This culture of openness has made it possible for a vibrant gay scene to develop and thrive in Cape Town. Its numerous LGBTQ-friendly clubs, restaurants and beaches have made the “Mother City” one of the Top 10 gay travel destinations in the world.
Cape Town has something for every gay
De Waterkant is the official heart of the LGBTQ scene and offers visitors a colourful array of bars, clubs, boutiques, and art galleries as well as numerous fine eateries to satisfy everyone’s taste buds. The bright and vivid streets of De Waterkant guarantee a positively memorable experience.
