Gay Travel To Cape Town

By Howie Holben

Need to find a place to blend romance with the exotic? Then Cape Town, South Africa is a great place to visit. It is a top destination for romantic gay vacations and has been for a long time. It is a beautiful place for that perfect get away for just the two of you. You will find all types of activities to catch your interest.

Cape Town is bordered by the mountains on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other sided. The blue skies with fluffy clouds will lull you into a deep sense of relaxation. The beaches will make want to never leave.

The Glen Boutique Hotel is gay owned and operated, and perfect little romantic hide-away. The rooms are gorgeous with marble appointed bathrooms. Marco's African Place is a great spot for dinner or give Off Moroka Cafe Africaine a visit for more traditional African food. There are many places to stay and eat that are gay-friendly.

There is plenty to do in Cape Town once you've rested long enough on the beach. Visit the wine country or museums, The Bo-Kapp Museum, District Six Museum and National Gallery should not be missed. And the nightlife in Cape Town is amazing! From little bars to major clubs, Cape Town has them all.

The Rhodes Memorial is built on the slopes of Devil's Peak. This memorial is in honor of Cecil Rhodes, a gay entrepreneur from Great Britain and founder of the Rhodes Scholarship and the DeBeers company. After you have done all this, it will be time to head back to the beaches again to rest up a bit so you're ready for the clubs again.

Just make sure to bring a wet suit if you plan on swimming, because the Atlantic Ocean is cold here. All in all, random wildlife including ostriches, penguins, baboon and monkeys (well, you wanted exotic) notwithstanding, booking gay adventure travel to Cape Town is definitely well worth it.
