Cape Town – While gay travellers are officially welcomed by the South African government, homosexuality can lead to life imprisonment and even the death sentence in other countries.

And for those who wondered how South Africa fared, Cape Town was ranked 19 out of the top 20 gay friendly travel destinations of 2013, according to marketing company Out Now Consulting’s research.

Clifton’s Third Beach was described by the company as one of the world’s best gay beaches. In 2014, the richest.com, which publishes lists of interesting facts, named South Africa as one of the top ten gay friendly countries in the world and “leaps and bounds ahead of its neighbours”.
