LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — TRAVEL ADVISORY

Mixed legal status — discretion recommended

Local law: Legal in private, but Article 85 criminalizes public same-sex expression (6 months–2 years). Level-4 do-not-travel conflict zone — the war outranks everything.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.
Listings on this page are provided for harm reduction and informed travel decisions — not a recommendation to visit.

About this place Oubangui Hotel

The Oubangui Hotel sits on Boulevard du General de Gaulle beside the Oubangui River, with rooms and a terrace looking across the water toward the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A long-standing Bangui landmark, it offers a riverside setting and an on-site restaurant, though recent guests describe a basic-to-mid standard with occasional water and air-conditioning interruptions (Google rating around 3.4). It is a mainstream hotel, not a gay venue. All of the security cautions that apply to the Central African Republic as a whole — a country under a Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisory — apply here too.
