What you will see
Bangui is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 11:05:59 local time, the Moon hides 9% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 10:12:51 and ends at 11:58:27, 1 h 46 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 73° above the horizon, towards the north-east, so you want a clear view in that direction from Bangui.

The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Darāw, about 2,708 km north-east, where totality lasts 3 m 08 s.
