Gay life in Cape Town

Cape Town is the gay capital of South Africa and the symbol of modern Africa. It is a city where gay life is about to explode, proving that with effort, things change!

Cape Town is also one of the most beautiful cities of the world, it possesses unique natural world as the Table Mountain which offers splendid views, a breath of fresh air and beautiful walks. Visit Cape Town is to venture in a preserved nature, spend wild nights in the trendy bars and visit an extraordinary cultural heritage.

The gay quarter: De Waterkant is near downtown and near the best beaches in the Cape. Even if the atmosphere is explosive, it is also very relaxed, so feel free to leave the baggy pants and flip flops! No frills in Cape Town. The festivities begin in December (summer in South Africa) with the Mother City Queer Project, one of the biggest nights in December with its colorful costumes and sexy boys. Then what is expected in February Gay Pride Cape with a full week of festivities and more than 40 planned events that make the biggest event in South Africa.
