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.
