More Information
South Africa is the most progressive country on the African continent for LGBTQ+ travelers by a significant margin. It was the first country in Africa to legalise same-sex marriage, in 2006, and its constitution explicitly prohibits discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, one of the few in the world to do so.
Cape Town is the gay capital of Africa. De Waterkant, the city’s established LGBTQ+ neighbourhood, has a dense concentration of bars, clubs, restaurants and community spaces, and the Cape Town Pride Festival each March draws visitors from across the continent and beyond. The city’s broader culture is open, cosmopolitan and welcoming.
Outside the major cities, social attitudes can be more conservative, particularly in rural areas, and some discretion is sensible away from Cape Town, Johannesburg and the main tourist circuits. Within those areas, and across the luxury travel experiences that make up most Out Of Office itineraries, LGBTQ+ travelers consistently find South Africa to be one of the most comfortable and welcoming destinations in the world.
