Planning your trip to Angola
Practical notes about Angola — checked as part of this page for tourism travellers.
The Bay of the Capital and the Fortress of the Luanda
The capital of the country, built on the natural harbour of the Angola coast, holds the old fortress of the Portuguese era above the bay and the boulevards and the buildings of the colonial century, while the modern city behind them spreads the towers, the malls and the enormous traffic of the fast-growing economy. The promenade of the bay, with the statues, the gardens and the bars of the waterfront, is the great public stage of the city, and the museums, from the military history of the fortress to the ethnographic collections of the national museum, tell the story of the nation. The markets of the city, the fish and the craft stalls of the districts, run the vivid everyday life, and the island of the coast with its restaurants and its beaches is the classic weekend escape of the capital.
The Falls of the Kalandula and the Highlands of the Planalto
The highlands of the interior of the country, the cool plateau that rises behind the coastal plain, hold some of the most spectacular waterfalls and the green farmlands of the region, and the falls of the Kalandula, among the largest in Africa, thunder over their wide cliff ring in the mist of the upper river. The countryside of the plateau, the coffee farms, the eucalyptus plantations and the villages of the Ovimbundu, unfolds in the rolling green of the high altitude, and the towns of the interior, from the Malanje with its museums and its black stones to the old fortress cities of the south, keep the quiet life of the region. The natural views, the waterfalls and the cool air make the highlands the classic escape from the heat of the coast.
The Parks of the South and the Wildlife of the Miombo
The national parks of the south of the country, the great reserves that the decades of isolation and the current recovery have slowly opened again, protect the elephants, the lions, the antelopes and the birdlife of the miombo woodlands and the floodplains of the interior. The park of the Bikuar, one of the oldest reserves of Africa, and the parks of the Cuando Cubango of the south-east, hold the large herds that are returning as the peace holds, and the park of the Kissama near the coast runs the successful elephant and the giraffe restorations of the recent years. The safaris of the parks, the river trips and the walking routes, are the great wildlife experience of the country, still off the crowded circuit and genuinely remote.
The Beaches and the Forts of the Atlantic Coast
The long coast of the country, from the surf beaches south of the capital to the southern province of the Namibe, holds some of the wildest and the least-known beaches of the African Atlantic. The fishing towns of the coast, from the bars and the restaurants of the Mussulo to the ports of the Lobito and the Benguela, live on the rich seas of the cold current, and the desert of the Namibe with its bizarre rock formations, its gorges and its colony of the desert elephants runs down to the sea at the edge of the country. The forts of the coast, the small Portuguese strongholds that guarded the slave and the ivory trade, dot the headlands between the towns. The coastal drive is the classic road journey of the country.
