Africa is where the party is at!
Is Africa Safe for Gay Travellers?
Yes, Africa is a popular holiday destination for LGBTQ+ travellers from across the globe. Although some news articles can make it out to be a dangerous place for gay travellers, the reality is that we live here, and we know it better than anyone else!
We're here, on the ground, and in touch with all the right people. So, we know about everything as it happens. There's no one better to trust than our fabulous LGBTQ+ Travel Experts.

Plus, Africa is packed with gay-friendly destinations. In fact, did you know that South Africa was the first (yes, very first!) to outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation in 1996 and the fifth country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage in 2006? So, we've even made history when it comes to welcoming LGBTQ+ travellers!

Travel with Confidence to Africa
So, we get that it's not as easy for an LGBTQ+ traveller to jump on a plane and explore the world. However, it should not cause any additional stress for you and your beloved partner! Leave that to us.
When you're on holiday, you should be able to proudly strut your stuff and show your love just like any heterosexual couple can. That's why we make it our business to know all the right people to make your holiday as stress-free as possible.

Africa Welcomes Gay Travellers
If you're still concerned about travelling to Africa as an LGBTQ+ traveller, we can tailor-make a holiday featuring only destinations where homosexuality has been legalised.
For example, how does a Big 5 Safari, sipping wine in the Cape Winelands , and partying the night away in glitzy gay-friendly Cape Town sound? Followed by seeing the largest density of elephants and gliding along the Okavango Delta in a traditional mokoro canoe in Botswana? And for the cherry on top? A sexy tropical island holiday in Seychelles!
These are just some of the many, many options you can choose from. We've travelled far and wide across the continent and know all the ins and outs of travelling confidently as an LGBTQ+ traveller in Africa.
