Africa's a continent, of course, so laws in general will vary from country to country . As to your specific question, attitudes to gay couples may vary by country as well as by establishment, though homosexuality is still illegal in most African and Middle Eastern countries, though these restrictions will mostly affect locals rather than tourists (not unlike restrictions on women, too, in places like Saudi Arabia or Egypt).
