October 20th, 2009 by Howie Holben, under Travel and Leisure. No Comments
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.
You have oceans on one side and mountains on the other sided. The sky is ever changing, with clouds seeming to work magic over the land. All this combined makes for a perfect afternoon on the beach.So pack a lunch and head out for an afternoon of sun and surf.
For places to stay, try the gay owned Glen Boutique Hotel. It offers beautiful rooms and well appointed baths. For dinner try Marco’s African Place or the Off Moroka Cafe Africaine to try traditional African food. With numerous gay-friendly places to dine and hang your hat for the night.
Looking for things to do won’t be hard, either. From romantic tours in South Africa’s wine country, try Lyngrove Country House; to historical museums that will leave you emotional and speechless, three to see: Bo-Kapp Museum, District Six Museum and National Gallery; to an amazing nightlife, your vacation to Cape Town is sure to give you the most incredible memories.
There is even some gay history to be had on the slopes of Devil’s Peak in the form of the Rhodes Memorial: so built to honor Cecil Rhodes who was a gay entrepreneur from Great Britain and founder of the Rhodes Scholarship, Rhodesia and DeBeers (diamond) mining company. Of course, there are the magnificent beaches, who can forget the gorgeous South African beaches?
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.
