Gay Cape Town Tour: Garden Route and Mini Safari

Fly direct to Cape Town international airport and make your way directly to the hotel. Here you will be welcomed by your host Kendall. The afternoon will be free to settle in, freshen up and explore Cape Town a little if you like with its many shops, amazing scenery and beautiful seafront. In the evening we all meet for dinner at an exclusive restaurant in trendy Kloof Street. This will be the perfect opportunity to meet your fellow travellers and find out all about the Gay Cape Town tour.

After a hearty breakfast we will head to the peak of Table Mountain via the cable car (or if you are brave, and adventurous, you can hike up – it only takes about 90 minutes). Here you will enjoy the best views in the world! Spend time exploring the fascinating micro climate and look out for dassies (an African rodent that lives amongst the rocks). The afternoon will be at your leisure again – more opportunity to explore a different side of Cape Town. In the evening we head out to Gate69 for Dinner and a Cabaret show with local and international drag queens, such fun!

After breakfast the Gay Safari and Cape Town tour Today heads out into the winelands for a full day exclusive Wine Experience in the Stellenbosch & Franschhoek regions. Taste some the finest wines and best food South Africa has to offer, whilst exploring the delightfully quaint little towns set up by the first European settlers in South Africa. We will take you through the flavours of South Africa’s world-famous wines. A pairing of wine and cheese is also included, let’s not all get too tipsy! Enjoy lunch on your own in the town of Franschhoek, a period town created by the French Huguenots. We head back later in the afternoon where you will have the evening free to do as you wish, some may want some rest after all the activities (or wine)!

Cape Town has so much to offer, and a few days is never enough to explore it all. So today will be free to do whatever you choose. Here are some suggestions: Shop at the V&A Waterfront, Go to the beach (Clifton 3 for the Gay beach), Try out some more fabulous wines, Explore the Bokaap area, Visit Robben Island, the infamous prison where Nelson Mandela spent most of his time. Your tour guides will be at hand for any help or suggestions.

After breakfast, the Gay Cape Town Tour takes a guided journey around the most beautiful landscape in the world: the Cape Peninsula. The morning tour will take you through intricate roads built into the mountain on Chapman’s Peak and the long white beaches of Noordhoek where 2 oceans meet at Cape Point. A visit to Boulder Beach to play with the penguins and a scrumptious seafood lunch in Simonstown is of course on the agenda. We head back in the afternoon where you can relax and enjoy the evening.

After breakfast we pack our bags and make our way along the coast. The Garden Route adventure will take us along one of the most beautiful, scenic and sought after drives. We will marvel at the landscape and stop for lunch in Mossel Bay. We then head to Knysna, beating heart of the Garden Route. Knysna is sure to steal a piece of your heart. We check-in to our hotel before heading to dinner at a local restaurant in the trendy bohemian centre.

After breakfast in the hotel we are collected and taken to our exclusive cruise. Sail in style on the Knysna Lagoon to the famous Heads. Your experienced skipper will show you best parts as you view dolphins, seals, birds and soak up the amazing landscape in this most temperate of climates.

After breakfast we pack and make our short way to the amazing Private Game Reserve in Plettenburg Bay. After settling in and freshening up you will have a hearty lunch before setting off on an amazing Safari with a private 4×4 outdoor vehicle and experienced ranger. Explore the Flora and Fauna of South Africa. Make sure to spot the ‘Big 5’. And no, not that kind of Big, we mean Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and Buffalo. Later in the evening dinner will be set in the natural environment of the lodge, outdoors with the sounds of the African bush.

After breakfast we will head back to Cape Town and settle into our hotel in the gay district of Cape Town, De Waterkant. This afternoon you can go shopping and get all your gifts. Dinner will be on your own and why not try out all the gay bars that will be rather full from people all over the world coming for Cape Town Pride.

Today is Pride Day. Join Italy Gay Travels through the parade starting from Town and heading towards the Stadium. The Pride will be followed by an afternoon party where you can get tipsy in the beer tents and dance your heart away. The pride is a festival style event and make sure you bring your sunscreen! That evening we will have our farewell dinner at an exclusive Restaurant.

After breakfast it is time to say goodbye. But no tears please. For those looking to continue the adventure why not join straight after for the amazing Afrigay Experience in Mauritius with guest star Rocco Steele.
