| Cape
Town, lying in the shadow of magnificent Table Mountain, is
known world-wide for its rich and diverse culture, its white
sandy beaches, the spectacular beauty of its flora, its ever-changing
weather patterns, and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.
But now there is a new dimension to this sleeping beauty -
it is one of the most beautiful, and one of the most popular,
gay destinations in the world. |
|
|
Cape Town has a laid-back atmosphere, something
which is unmatched throughout the world. And this offers the
ideal surroundings for a gay culture to thrive in. This, together
with the South African Constitution safeguarding gay rights
and freedom of sexual association, provides gays and lesbians
with the opportunity to live and promote an openly gay lifestyle. |
|
 |
The gay community in Cape Town has grown, attracting
gay people from all over the world to settle in this comfortable
environment, giving it a cosmopolitan character. In addition,
the gay community is highly organised on the level of
social support and community services, providing necessary
outreach services to young gay people and to those suffering
from Aids. |
|
| Cape Town and surrounds offer the traveller a never-ending
list of activities, catering to everyone's desire. From
luxury yacht cruises on the Atlantic around Cape Point
to mountain biking in the nearby mountain ranges, from
shopping at the excellent and buzzing V & A Waterfront,
Cavendish Centre, or the Tygerberg Centre, to soaking
up the sun on the popular beaches of Clifton, Camps Bay
and Sandy Bay. |
|
|
 |
You can also enjoy a drive through the vineyards of
the Cape Winelands and sample some of the finest red and
white wines in the world; and drive along the Whale route,
taking in some of the most breathtaking whale viewing
in the world. |
