Any favorable experiences in subsaharan Africa?

[ImpCaes]

Hi all.  New member and first post here.  I’m a frequent traveler, often in search of fun via Grindr or in saunas.  
I’m curious to hear about any favorable experiences in Africa, which broadly has such a negative reputation for gay play.  Personally I had a great time at The Factory in Johannesburg.   Meanwhile I found Senegal to be uncomfortable.  Any experience in places like Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Rwanda, etc would be welcomed.

I just returned from a week in Ghana. It was fabulous. My first time in West-Africa, I visited Accra, Cape Coast and Elmina.

Accra is a lively and busy city full of markets. The action at night seems to take place in Oxford Street in Osu, one of the well-known neighbourhoods. Great cocktails are to be found in Republic Bar (and many others). Local DJ's sweep up te crowd. There is lots of prostitution, so take care when drunk. It is very easy to meet the locals in the bars and you will find no effort / issue doing what you like. Although men look handsome, I wasn't in the mood.

In Cape Coast, a five hours drive west from Accra (although less than 150 km), I was greeted by a surprising amount of guys. The rocks behind the famous fort play the role of an exclusive and excluded spot. Men approach you, show their (huge) penises, ask for you number, ... At night, I had dinner in a local restaurant and got hooked up by the waiter. He invited me to stay with him, what I refused. Bare in mind that an average European earns 40 times more than his Ghanaian counterpart. After dinner, I went for a walk in the old town (small) and a guy approached me for sex. I was shocked by the bluntness: 'I really want to fuck you very hard now.' Again, I politely refused. All men who approached me seemed good-looking (beautiful teeth for instance), fit (fitness culture), well-spoken (English mother tongue) and friendly.

I stayed at a cool resort at the coast near Elmina. The staff seems very attentive. Many of the guests seemed to have hooked up with members of staff.

Were you in the mood at any of the places?

No. Eventually I didn't.

No. I wasn't tbh. Not at all. Just interested in the country and its culture. Only posted on this forum as `i was surprised not to find and 'info' on Ghana. Plus, a couple of travellers I met in the hostel in Accra told me Togo, Benin, Liberia and Sierra Leone must be awesome in terms of meeting local men as well. Maybe another future post?  X

Ich bin gerade von einer Woche in Ghana zurück. Es war fantastisch. Bei meiner ersten Reise nach Westafrika besuchte ich Accra, Cape Coast und Elmina.

Accra ist eine lebhafte und geschäftige Stadt voller Märkte. Das Nachtleben spielt sich vor allem in der Oxford Street in Osu ab, einem der bekanntesten Viertel. Hervorragende Cocktails gibt es in der Republic Bar (und vielen anderen). Lokale DJs heizen die Stimmung an. Es gibt viel Prostitution, also Vorsicht im betrunkenen Zustand. In den Bars kommt man sehr leicht mit Einheimischen ins Gespräch und kann problemlos tun, worauf man Lust hat. Obwohl die Männer gut aussahen, war ich nicht in Stimmung.

In Cape Coast, fünf Autostunden westlich von Accra (wenn auch weniger als 150 km), wurde ich von überraschend vielen Männern angesprochen. Die Felsen hinter dem berühmten Fort wirken wie ein exklusiver, abgeschiedener Ort. Männer sprechen einen an, zeigen ihre (riesigen) Penisse, fragen nach der Telefonnummer … Abends aß ich in einem lokalen Restaurant und wurde vom Kellner angemacht. Er lud mich ein, bei ihm zu übernachten, was ich ablehnte. Man muss bedenken, dass ein durchschnittlicher Europäer 40 Mal so viel verdient wie ein Ghanaer. Nach dem Essen machte ich einen Spaziergang durch die Altstadt (die recht klein ist), und ein Mann sprach mich an und wollte mit mir schlafen. Ich war schockiert über seine Direktheit: „Ich will dich jetzt richtig hart ficken.“ Wieder lehnte ich höflich ab. Alle Männer, die mich ansprachen, wirkten gutaussehend (schöne Zähne zum Beispiel), fit (Fitnesskultur), eloquent (Englisch als Muttersprache) und freundlich.

Ich habe in einem tollen Resort an der Küste bei Elmina übernachtet. Das Personal wirkte sehr aufmerksam. Viele Gäste schienen sich mit Mitarbeitern angefreundet zu haben.
