The first four nights are spent in Cape Town where guests will have the opportunity to see the exciting Gay Parade in action, attend the wildly elegant yet funky Pink Ball and experience all of the Gay Pride events this pulsing city has to offer including adventure activities, shopping and more! For the last three nights, a flight from Cape Town to the Madikwe Game Reserve in the Sabi Sands will transport guests to a five star luxury lodge surrounded by fierce wildlife. This luxury safari is masterfully created to combine the urban city excitement of Cape Town with the rare wildlife viewing in Madikwe.

Accommodations in Cape Town will be spent at the gay owned boutique property, Kensington Place, a haven of quiet elegance and located just steps away from Kloof Street, one of the city’s most lively and trendy areas. Guests will not have to venture far from the hotel to enjoy Cape Town’s hot spots, beaches and cultural attractions. In addition to Gay Pride events, EJ Africa can arrange for a variety of activities ranging from a visit to Robben Island, a 400 year old prison which is now recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, sea kayaking with African Penguins, a cable car ride up to the top of Table Mountain, and a private shopping tour with a chauffeur, of course.

Guests are assured the ultimate in personal service and style at the uber luxurious and sexy Jamala Madikwe Royal Safari Lodge.  This exclusive lodge, owned by gay partners Shawn Roe and Rodney Steyn, consists of only five stunning villas, each with their very own splash pool, allowing for total privacy.
