Looking for a place where romance and the exotic completely mesh, intertwined for one of the most magnificent gay vacations you'll ever have? Look no further than Cape Town, South Africa. Located at the very southern tip of Africa, Cape Town has consistently been considered among the top romantic destinations in gay travel circles. It's beauty is beyond breathtaking and will leave you in awe of the forces of nature. Bordered on the South by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and on the North by the towering 4,000 foot Table Mountain, Cape Town's horizons are anything but ordinary and in constant flux with the clouds rolling off the mountain's peaks defining the sky-scape randomly and dramatically. The perfect backdrop for an afternoon of lazing quietly on the beach, wrapped in a partner's never ending gaze. If you're looking for the perfect romantic place to stay, book your nights at the incredible Glen Boutique Hotel. Given that this hotel is gay owned and operated, it's an exceptional choice for gay vacations and you certainly won't be disappointed by the luxurious bedrooms and marble baths. As Cape Town's gay village booms, so do your options for renowned exotic culinary masterpieces -- such as Ulwimi (steamed Ox tongue in mustard sauce) at Marco's African Place -- or you might head on over to the jazzy Off Moroka Cafe Africaine to indulge in some traditional African fare.
Looking for things to do won't be hard, either. From romantic gay 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 a gay holiday trip to Cape Town is definitely well worth it.
