Gay Guide to Cape Town
Cape Town is Africa's best-known gay destination, with its scene centered on De Waterkant, a compact district of bars, cafes, and shops. Long-running venues include Café Manhattan and Crew Bar, with nightlife spilling into the surrounding streets. Cape Town Pride takes place across late February and early March, and the city has been chosen to host WorldPride 2028, the first African city to do so. The setting pairs Table Mountain and nearby beaches with a walkable center, drawing international visitors through the southern-hemisphere summer.
