African Queens Travel: Africa Forever

As the saying goes: “You can leave Africa, but Africa never leaves you.” And this sentiment is doubly true when you experience Africa with African Queens Travel.

Few are the African travel companies that count on a near century of hospitality experience. Fewer still are the ones currently lesbian-owned and operated focused on sharing the wonders of South Africa, Victoria Falls and Botswana to the LGBTQ community. Every corner of the world becomes richer when shared by someone who knows that corner well.  

The founders of African Queens Travel know Africa from their perspective as Africans, but also their perspective as members of the gay community. Combined, their experience as LGBTQ Africans will make your experience of Africa unparalleled. That experience starting with what African Queens Travel recognized as one of the unnecessary barriers to experiencing Africa being expense.  They also recognized one of the necessary requirements being unparalleled hospitality. Part of a family who has hosted visitors to South Africa for nearly 100-years, African hospitality is in their bones.

You and yours can enjoy 6-15-night journeys through South Africa and its many reserves, taking in the majesty of Victoria Falls and luxuriating at the Shongwe Lodge, being on the look-out for the Big 5 taking in the majest of Kruger National Park from the Sabi River Sun Resort, and riding Africa’s version of the Orient Express, The Blue Train, into Cape Town’s Southern Sun The Cullinan. These affordable packages make available the natural and personal wonders of southern Africa to you and your man in ways most other outfits can’t.

And for one of the most memorable moments in your life, you should make Africa the destination for your wedding. As the fifth country in the world to legalize gay marriage, South Africa has witnessed countless gay weddings. African Queens Travel affords you access to and planning expertise for South Africa’s many vineyards, wildlife reserves, cityscapes, beaches, and more. Every idea you might have for a wedding week, weekend, or wedding weekend into honeymoon week, African Queens Travel will be able to make it happen, especially thanks to their partnership with The Mosaic Wedding Company in Cape Town. We can attest to the caliber of planning by simply sharing one of our previously featured weddings, that of Will & Mason. The only challenge you’ll will have to contend with is editing your wedding photos.

Having tied the knot and honeymooned here, why not celebrate your anniversary here and join African Queens Travel for their 2023 Gay Pride Party? Combine visits to Victoria Falls and the game preserves, with the parties and revelry of Cape Town’s Gay Pride events, whether you’ve got a ring on it or no! Wildlife and wild nights will make for a Gay Pride like none you will ever experience.  

Adventure, wildlife, landscapes, hospitality all make Africa incomparable. But really, what makes Africa transformative is the people. Make the first you meet, the women at African Queens Travel.
