South Africa Dream Gay Honeymoon
Cape Town, Knysna, and Safari

 

Prices vary depending on desired dates*
See also our group departure, September, 08

Especially now that you can get married in California, what better place to spend your honeymoon than gay-friendly, South Africa! South Africa’s 1996 Constitution was the first and only constitution in the world that expressly guaranteed protection from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. November 2008 will also be the 2nd anniversary of the constitutional amendment legalizing same-sex marriage in South Africa.

See recent the most beautiful creatures you've ever seen in your life. Watch, in fascination, at a myriad of mating rituals. Eat breakfast next to a wild beast having his night's hunt just a few feet away from you. And, that's just the gay scene in Cape Town! You also get to experience a 3 day all-inclusive safari in your own 5 star luxurious chalet.

It seems like everyone you know has been on a safari. Now it's your turn! Enjoying a gourmet dinner under the African sky and stars after an exhilarating safari is something you will take with you the rest of your life.

Once in Cape Town, you will be amazed by the beauty of the city, its fun beach scene, and attractive, active nightlife. In fact, The Travel Channel just named Cape Town’s Clifton Beach one of the world’s best beaches!

From romantic wine tours to incredible safari drives to the best accommodations, Zoom Vacations will give you the Honeymoon of your dreams in South Africa! Oh, and be sure to bring an extra travel bag. The dollar is still strong in South Africa, and this, coupled with fine local crafts will bring out the "shopper" in anyone!
