LGBT tourism in South Africa is a form of niche tourism marketed to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBTQ) people who visit South Africa. Cape Town is the most popular destination for LGBT tourists in South Africa and is regarded as the gay capital of Africa,[1] hosting the Cape Town Pride festival in February/March,[2] the Mother City Queer Project in December,[3] and the Out in Africa Film Festival in September/October every year.[4] Other regional events include the Pink Loerie Mardi Gras in Knysna, Western Cape.
