The Travel Massive Cape Town recently explored the Gay Cape Quarter on a “Lush” Adventure Experience guided by Queer Eye Tours and The Gallivanting Goose.
The adventure started in at the Café Manhattan located in Cape Town’s most vibrant and inclusive neighbourhoods. Members followed the Pink Lane on an interactive adventure — discovering LGBTQ+ landmarks, history, and community hot spots, all while “Sissy-ing That Walk” across the Rainbow Crossing on Somerset Road.
The grand finale? A warm and lively welcome at Honey & Dora, where AB Creations provided delicious refreshments, followed by community acknowledgments, prizes, and a drag performance by The Drag Cartel.
A huge shoutout to our supporters and partners who made this event possible:

What a great experience and seeing the teams have so much fun and really enjoying it all! Thank you to all who made this day possible.
2024 has been a fantastic year for highlighting LGBTQ+ travel and tourism in the Western Cape through Travel Massive Cape Town. This year’s success is thanks to the dedication and support of our partners who have shared their time, resources, and passion with us – a heartfelt THANK YOU from the Travel Massive Cape Town team!
But this is just the beginning! With Drag Race South Africa launching in 2025 and Cape Town hosting World Pride 2028, we’re committed to hosting LGBTQ+ events three times annually. Each will showcase what’s new, bold, and buzzing in the queer scene of our Mother City.
We’re thrilled to continue collaborating with new partners, amplifying the Gay Cape Quarter’s vibrant travel and tourism offerings, and celebrating Cape Town’s thriving LGBTQ+ culture.
So WATCH THIS SPACE – we’re just getting started! 🌈
Looks like I may have missed out on an event that's fit for kings & queens. Count me in next time. I'm looking forward to working closely with anyone who's open to collaborating with me.
Oh you sure did miss out on an amazing event, so get involved and let's see you at future events.
What an amazing event! The team out did themselves as always! Everyone who attended was such sports taking part. You all clearly Rock!
Thank you Sherise team work is dream work.
How much fun was this! We need to invest more into what we have to offer right here on our doorstep!
Love this, thanks so much Nardus. Agree wholeheartedly.
Looks like a fun event, well done!
It was an ultra fun event, it's going to hard to top the fun part for future events, but let's see.
Thank you Ian, and thank you for continuing to allow us to use this magnificent platform to highlight our beautiful community, as well as ALL the benefits for ALL Travel and Tourism in the Mother City! #lovetravelmassivecapetown
I think this event was the best quality event I have attended this year. Thank you travel massive cape town. Looking forward to many more.
So glad to hear and let's work towards doing and being better! Glad you are looking forward to more and that you have made so many connections through the Travel Massive community and all the great events with colabs you're doing as AB Creations.
PROUD to have hosted our 3rd and FINAL EVENT for our LGBTQ+ CONNECTORS 2024! 🇿🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
What a HUGE SUCCESS!
We look forward to carrying this energy and momentum over into 2025 (Starting February 28th) as we launch into Pride Month!
For any ALLIES or Queer businesses wanting to be involved in future and upcoming events, please feel free to reach out.🌈
Thanks to all those who partnered and supported us through 2024! The exposure has been Phenomenal and as I've said before....
We've only just begun!.... 😉
Juan, a real BIG THANK YOU from me personally, I never expected this when we first met! I thought ok let's have this event with Queer Eye Tours and then boom we end up making sure that LGBTIQ+ Travel further shines a spotlight on this market and look at what will be happening over the next few years. So we invite those to join us in making it even bigger than what we know and think.
Teamwork makes the DreamWork 💯😉🫶💚
I loved every minute of this awesome event and day, huge funzies was had with fab people and i would do it again. My team came in 2nd so that was brilliant, professionally planned by all from start to finish. Thank u so much to all parties involved ❤
Just love your energy....keep bringing it and I am excited to see us incorporating some Slowjo drinks into it all for future events!
Thank you, you all rock at doing these events.
I look forward to partnering and sharing what Slojo Designer Beverages can do.
Honey, the event was EVERYTHING! The team brought their A-game, and everyone who attended was a total sport! Shantay, you stay... and come back next time, because this event was SICKENING!
Lekker jy! Thanks Ashwin for bringing your energy just loved it. Keep coming back to our events.
De waterkloof was nice, dont like playing games in the busy roads though, it's dangerous.
Hi Annalie, thank you for your feedback and yes, no one would advocate for anyone to be "playing games in busy roads."
This is a professionally organized, adult activity with safety first being the priority.
All the locations have been pre-mapped, chosen and tested. Whilst in a public domain, rules and regulations were set in place, managed and adhered to by all participants, with indemnity forms signed by ALL our participants.
Due to precautions taken, as well as the responsible adults who participated and adhered to the safety regulations, FUN was had by ALL with NO INCIDENTS to report for the day!
We would never put our members in harms way, nor require anyone to participate in an activity that makes them feel uncomfortable.
From the other reviews, I'm sure you would agree that no one felt that we put their lives in danger.
Again, thanks for your feedback.
Please, just be more cautious and vigilant with your statements - "playing games in busy roads" - is not what happened that day!
I wish you all the best and thanks for your attendance.
I’m glad you enjoyed De Waterkant—it truly is a lovely spot. Regarding your concerns about playing games near busy roads, you were in my group, and I wish you had mentioned that you were feeling unsafe at the time. It would have allowed us to address your concerns and adjust accordingly.
That said, your discomfort does help explain why you stepped away from the group and didn’t fully participate in the activity. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
I arrived first @ the venue where we started. There were 2 reasons why I stepped away. One was because I was worried about my car & had to speak to the parking attended who assured me that I may leave my car the whole afternoon on that spot. The 2nd reason I forgot, but I caught up with the group & didn't miss out much. Didn't like moving backwards & forwards crossing Somerset Rd. Enjoyed Honey & Dora though.
What a fun event...and to top it off...the surprise performances at Honey & Dora...loved it! Well done Travel Massive. 🤗
Thank you Cindy and so glad you enjoyed the event and decided to go back to Honey and Dora too. Was lovely to see you there again.
What an amazing experience..can't wait for the next one
Glad you had fun and looking forward to see you at future events
Such a great event! Had a great time with everyone and fell in love with the colourful Cape Quarter :)
S/O to the team for putting it together.
I missed out. But I am inspired to curate a West Africa edition
