Country

Angola

Angola is a country emerging from a long civil war, now revealing its incredible landscapes and vibrant culture. Luanda is a bustling, expensive metropolis, while the countryside offers the Kalandula Falls (one of Africa's largest) and the Namib Desert meeting the ocean. It's raw, challenging, and rewarding for the adventurous traveler.

At a Glance
  • When to Go: June to September is the dry, cooler season. Best for travel.
  • Budget: Luanda is notoriously expensive for expats/tourists. Rural areas are cheaper but lack infrastructure.
  • Visa: E-visa is available for many nationalities, simplifying what used to be a very difficult process.

Transport

Domestic flights (TAAG) are best for long distances. Roads are improving but can be potholed. Buses exist but are crowded. Renting a 4x4 with a driver is recommended.

Safety

Landmines are still a risk in remote areas; stick to marked paths. Petty crime in Luanda is common—be vigilant.
