Out Adventures will be the first place I look to for new vacation adventures! While there were a few small things that could have improved the experience, I'd recommend both Morocco trip and Out Adventure....in fact, I am going with them to India.

List of African countries where homosexuality is illegalor punishable

Here is a list of African countries where it is illegal to be gay or to partake in consensual same-sex relations.

And if you are meeting with someone for the first time, always suggest to meet up in public first. Today, while same-sex relationships are not illegal in this small landlocked country of 12 million that is famous for its Silverback gorilla trekking holidays, the legislation does not allow for same-sex marriages. Merry Christmas!

We have taken two wonderful trips with Out Adventures. Have a restroom buddy when using a gender-affirming restroom, so they may stand by your door while you use the restroom. Though there are no LGBTQI-only bars and clubs, there are spaces and places that are known to be LGBTQI-friendly.

Their presence can help create a sense of safety and solidarity.

Is Africa safe for gay travellers? Though this will most likely be replaced with a closer-than-most-feel-comfortable-with pat-down. highly recommend Out Adventures. They will offer on-the-ground experience and will know what to expect, plus how to ensure that your travels are safe.

  • Be aware of entrapment campaigns in countries with minimal or no LGBTQI rights, where undercover or plain clothes police officers monitor certain venues, websites or smartphone apps to gain insight into common LGBTQI community meeting places.

    Please also tell me about your experiences as an LGBTQI+ traveller in Africa, so that I can update this post, which is based on the most recent news reports as well as research conducted by human rights groups.

    This post is dedicated to a few of my dear friends, as well as those who feel that if they were to be true to themselves and follow their hearts that they would be ridiculed, teased and discriminated against in various ways either at work, in their social circles, religious communities or families. This can help avoid potential misunderstandings or confrontations.

    The Indian Ocean island extends a warm embrace to queer travellers looking for an inclusive and welcoming destination.

    They build great itineraries and use local guides that provide unparalleled adventures. In some countries, such as the United States, you can opt out of an Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) scan, ask if this is a possibility if you feel uncomfortable.
