What Is the Climate Like in Angola?
There are two seasons: a dry, cool season from June to late September, and a rainy, hot season from October to April or May. The average temperature is at 15° C. The weather is warmer along the coast and cooler on the central plateau.
Angola has a very distinct climate. The best time to visit Angola is during the winter months from May to October. Dry season occurs throughout May to October, and the hot rainy season which is November to April.
How Safe Is Angola?
This region of Africa can be dangerous. It is important to be aware of the potential dangers in the area.
Several epidemics have plagued the region of Angola. Yellow fever outbreaks are known to occur. Vaccination is required for entry to avoid the virus’s spread.
Angola has also suffered war, and still affects certain areas of local life, to this day. Some of these areas contain large amounts of active landmines and explosives. Avoid wandering off of roads or trails in the rural Angola.
Crime rates are high throughout the country. Be careful in urban and rural areas. Avoid walking alone at night and travel in a group.
Parque Nacional de Kissama
Outside of Luanda, this park is a wildlife sanctuary with stunning natural environments. The park began as a preserve in 1938 and evolved into a National Park in 1957.
Following the civil war, the Parque Nacional de Kissama is the only functioning national park in Angola. The park’s population of buffalo, elephants and sea turtles is currently thriving. The park also received 10 elephants by air from Russia in 2000.
What Should I Take to Angola?
Like many African nations, Angola requires a bit of extra prep work. Ensure you have everything you need before your trip.
- Insect Repellent – Angola is known for its mosquitoes population. Insect repellent could prove to be a lifesaver whilst travelling throughout the country. The repellent will likely be used a lot, so try purchasing a cream or mild-spray.
- Modest Attire – While not required for many places, be sure to bring some modest attire for visits to sacred areas.
Embassy of the United Kingdom in Angola
If you are in Angola and have an emergency (for example, been attacked, arrested or someone has died) contact the nearest consular services. Contact the embassy before arrival if you have additional questions on entry requirements, safety concerns or are in need of assistance.

ATTENTION :
In the context of preventing and combating the Covid-19 pandemic, a travel Registration Form (FRV) was created, with the objective of defending and executing and executing the sanitary control of the borders of Angola.
Whenever there are serious risks of importation of the SARS-COV-2 Virus into the national territory, the competent Ministerial Departments may propose the closure or temporary suspension of air,land, rail, sea and river traffic with certain countries, as well as other measures deemed necessary, and the Defense and Security Forces must ensure that border control is reinforced.
For an effective and efficient management of the pandemic, the health authorities of Angola must be aware of your trip from Angola, thus ensuring the proper health control that the Situation of Calamity requires.
How does the FRV for Angola work? Every Citizen who intends to ender and leave Angola, must make their Travel Registration up to 72 hours (3 days) in advance .

Learn actions you can take to stay healthy and safe on your trip. Vaccines cannot protect you from many diseases in Angola, so your behaviors are important.
Eat and drink safely
Food and water standards around the world vary based on the destination. Standards may also differ within a country and risk may change depending on activity type (e.g., hiking versus business trip). You can learn more about safe food and drink choices when traveling by accessing the resources below.
- Choose Safe Food and Drinks When Traveling
- Water Treatment Options When Hiking, Camping or Traveling
- Global Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
- Avoid Contaminated Water During Travel
You can also visit the Department of State Country Information Pages for additional information about food and water safety.
Prevent bug bites
Bugs (like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas) can spread a number of diseases in Angola. Many of these diseases cannot be prevented with a vaccine or medicine. You can reduce your risk by taking steps to prevent bug bites.
What can I do to prevent bug bites?
- Cover exposed skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and hats.
- Use an appropriate insect repellent (see below).
- Use permethrin-treated clothing and gear (such as boots, pants, socks, and tents). Do not use permethrin directly on skin.
- Stay and sleep in air-conditioned or screened rooms.
- Use a bed net if the area where you are sleeping is exposed to the outdoors.
What type of insect repellent should I use?
- FOR PROTECTION AGAINST TICKS AND MOSQUITOES: Use a repellent that contains 20% or more DEET for protection that lasts up to several hours.
- Picaridin (also known as KBR 3023, Bayrepel, and icaridin)
- Oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or para-menthane-diol (PMD)
- 2-undecanone
- Always use insect repellent as directed.
What should I do if I am bitten by bugs?
- Avoid scratching bug bites, and apply hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion to reduce the itching.
- Check your entire body for ticks after outdoor activity. Be sure to remove ticks properly.
What can I do to avoid bed bugs?
Although bed bugs do not carry disease, they are an annoyance. See our information page about avoiding bug bites for some easy tips to avoid them. For more information on bed bugs, see Bed Bugs .
For more detailed information on avoiding bug bites, see Avoid Bug Bites .
Stay safe outdoors
If your travel plans in Angola include outdoor activities, take these steps to stay safe and healthy during your trip.
- Stay alert to changing weather conditions and adjust your plans if conditions become unsafe.
- Prepare for activities by wearing the right clothes and packing protective items, such as bug spray, sunscreen, and a basic first aid kit.
- Consider learning basic first aid and CPR before travel. Bring a travel health kit with items appropriate for your activities.
- If you are outside for many hours in heat, eat salty snacks and drink water to stay hydrated and replace salt lost through sweating.
- Protect yourself from UV radiation : use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, wear protective clothing, and seek shade during the hottest time of day (10 a.m.–4 p.m.).
- Be especially careful during summer months and at high elevation. Because sunlight reflects off snow, sand, and water, sun exposure may be increased during activities like skiing, swimming, and sailing.
- Very cold temperatures can be dangerous. Dress in layers and cover heads, hands, and feet properly if you are visiting a cold location.
Stay safe around water
- Swim only in designated swimming areas. Obey lifeguards and warning flags on beaches.
- Practice safe boating—follow all boating safety laws, do not drink alcohol if driving a boat, and always wear a life jacket.
- Do not dive into shallow water.
- Do not swim in freshwater in developing areas or where sanitation is poor.
- Avoid swallowing water when swimming. Untreated water can carry germs that make you sick.
- To prevent infections, wear shoes on beaches where there may be animal waste.
Schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection that can be spread in fresh water, is found in Angola. Avoid swimming in fresh, unchlorinated water, such as lakes, ponds, or rivers.
Keep away from animals
Most animals avoid people, but they may attack if they feel threatened, are protecting their young or territory, or if they are injured or ill. Animal bites and scratches can lead to serious diseases such as rabies.
Follow these tips to protect yourself:
- Do not touch or feed any animals you do not know.
- Do not allow animals to lick open wounds, and do not get animal saliva in your eyes or mouth.
- Avoid rodents and their urine and feces.
- Traveling pets should be supervised closely and not allowed to come in contact with local animals.
- If you wake in a room with a bat, seek medical care immediately. Bat bites may be hard to see.
All animals can pose a threat, but be extra careful around dogs, bats, monkeys, sea animals such as jellyfish, and snakes. If you are bitten or scratched by an animal, immediately:
- Wash the wound with soap and clean water.
- Go to a doctor right away.
- Tell your doctor about your injury when you get back to the United States.
Consider buying medical evacuation insurance. Rabies is a deadly disease that must be treated quickly, and treatment may not be available in some countries.
Reduce your exposure to germs
Follow these tips to avoid getting sick or spreading illness to others while traveling:
- Wash your hands often, especially before eating.
- If soap and water aren’t available, clean hands with hand sanitizer (containing at least 60% alcohol).
- Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you need to touch your face, make sure your hands are clean.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
- Try to avoid contact with people who are sick.
- If you are sick, stay home or in your hotel room, unless you need medical care.
Avoid sharing body fluids
Diseases can be spread through body fluids, such as saliva, blood, vomit, and semen.
Protect yourself:
- Use latex condoms correctly.
- Do not inject drugs.
- Limit alcohol consumption. People take more risks when intoxicated.
- Do not share needles or any devices that can break the skin. That includes needles for tattoos, piercings, and acupuncture.
- If you receive medical or dental care, make sure the equipment is disinfected or sanitized.
Know how to get medical care while traveling
Plan for how you will get health care during your trip, should the need arise:
- Carry a list of local doctors and hospitals at your destination.
- Review your health insurance plan to determine what medical services it would cover during your trip. Consider purchasing travel health and medical evacuation insurance.
- Carry a card that identifies, in the local language, your blood type, chronic conditions or serious allergies, and the generic names of any medications you take.
- Some prescription drugs may be illegal in other countries. Call Angola’s embassy to verify that all of your prescription(s) are legal to bring with you.
- Bring all the medicines (including over-the-counter medicines) you think you might need during your trip, including extra in case of travel delays. Ask your doctor to help you get prescriptions filled early if you need to.
Many foreign hospitals and clinics are accredited by the Joint Commission International. A list of accredited facilities is available at their website ( www.jointcommissioninternational.org ).
In some countries, medicine (prescription and over-the-counter) may be substandard or counterfeit. Bring the medicines you will need from the United States to avoid having to buy them at your destination.
Malaria is a risk in Angola. Fill your malaria prescription before you leave and take enough with you for the entire length of your trip. Follow your doctor’s instructions for taking the pills; some need to be started before you leave.
Select safe transportation
Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 killer of healthy US citizens in foreign countries.
In many places cars, buses, large trucks, rickshaws, bikes, people on foot, and even animals share the same lanes of traffic, increasing the risk for crashes.
Be smart when you are traveling on foot.
- Use sidewalks and marked crosswalks.
- Pay attention to the traffic around you, especially in crowded areas.
- Remember, people on foot do not always have the right of way in other countries.
Riding/Driving
Choose a safe vehicle.
- Choose official taxis or public transportation, such as trains and buses.
- Ride only in cars that have seatbelts.
- Avoid overcrowded, overloaded, top-heavy buses and minivans.
- Avoid riding on motorcycles or motorbikes, especially motorbike taxis. (Many crashes are caused by inexperienced motorbike drivers.)
- Choose newer vehicles—they may have more safety features, such as airbags, and be more reliable.
- Choose larger vehicles, which may provide more protection in crashes.
Think about the driver.
- Do not drive after drinking alcohol or ride with someone who has been drinking.
- Consider hiring a licensed, trained driver familiar with the area.
- Arrange payment before departing.
Follow basic safety tips.
- Wear a seatbelt at all times.
- Sit in the back seat of cars and taxis.
- When on motorbikes or bicycles, always wear a helmet. (Bring a helmet from home, if needed.)
- Avoid driving at night; street lighting in certain parts of Angola may be poor.
- Do not use a cell phone or text while driving (illegal in many countries).
- Travel during daylight hours only, especially in rural areas.
- If you choose to drive a vehicle in Angola, learn the local traffic laws and have the proper paperwork.
- Get any driving permits and insurance you may need. Get an International Driving Permit (IDP). Carry the IDP and a US-issued driver's license at all times.
- Check with your auto insurance policy's international coverage, and get more coverage if needed. Make sure you have liability insurance.
- Avoid using local, unscheduled aircraft.
- If possible, fly on larger planes (more than 30 seats); larger airplanes are more likely to have regular safety inspections.
- Try to schedule flights during daylight hours and in good weather.
Medical Evacuation Insurance
If you are seriously injured, emergency care may not be available or may not meet US standards. Trauma care centers are uncommon outside urban areas. Having medical evacuation insurance can be helpful for these reasons.
Helpful Resources
Road Safety Overseas (Information from the US Department of State): Includes tips on driving in other countries, International Driving Permits, auto insurance, and other resources.
The Association for International Road Travel has country-specific Road Travel Reports available for most countries for a minimal fee.
Maintain personal security
Use the same common sense traveling overseas that you would at home, and always stay alert and aware of your surroundings.
Before you leave
- Research your destination(s), including local laws, customs, and culture.
- Monitor travel advisories and alerts and read travel tips from the US Department of State.
- Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) .
- Leave a copy of your itinerary, contact information, credit cards, and passport with someone at home.
- Pack as light as possible, and leave at home any item you could not replace.
While at your destination(s)
- Carry contact information for the nearest US embassy or consulate .
- Carry a photocopy of your passport and entry stamp; leave the actual passport securely in your hotel.
- Follow all local laws and social customs.
- Do not wear expensive clothing or jewelry.
- Always keep hotel doors locked, and store valuables in secure areas.
- If possible, choose hotel rooms between the 2nd and 6th floors.
Healthy Travel Packing List
Use the Healthy Travel Packing List for Angola for a list of health-related items to consider packing for your trip. Talk to your doctor about which items are most important for you.
Why does CDC recommend packing these health-related items?
It’s best to be prepared to prevent and treat common illnesses and injuries. Some supplies and medicines may be difficult to find at your destination, may have different names, or may have different ingredients than what you normally use.
If you are not feeling well after your trip, you may need to see a doctor. If you need help finding a travel medicine specialist, see Find a Clinic . Be sure to tell your doctor about your travel, including where you went and what you did on your trip. Also tell your doctor if you were bitten or scratched by an animal while traveling.
If your doctor prescribed antimalarial medicine for your trip, keep taking the rest of your pills after you return home. If you stop taking your medicine too soon, you could still get sick.
Malaria is always a serious disease and may be a deadly illness. If you become ill with a fever either while traveling in a malaria-risk area or after you return home (for up to 1 year), you should seek immediate medical attention and should tell the doctor about your travel history.
For more information on what to do if you are sick after your trip, see Getting Sick after Travel .

50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola
After living in Angola for three years, we got to know the country very well and want to share with you our best Angola travel tips with a list of e verything you need to know before traveling to Angola!
Angola isn’t the first place anyone remembers when considering traveling or vacations! It’s very difficult to travel, expensive and dangerous. Yet, it receives many travelers, almost all of them business travelers.

Everything about Angola and the Locals
#1 Where is Angola? Angola is located in Southern Africa, and it’s bordered by Namibia (South), Zambia (East), and both Congos (north)! The enclave of Cabinda is the only part of Angola that borders the Republic of Congo. To the West, Angola is bathed by the South Atlantic Ocean.
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 1 traveling to Angola Things to know about Angola - Top attractions of Angola - Sr. Miguel Fort](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/S.-Miguel-Fort-Angola.jpg)
#2 It’s a huge country! The seventh largest in Africa and the 22nd in the World! Despite this, it has a relatively small population, only about 25 Million which makes Angola very sparsely populated! It has one of the lowest population densities in the world.
#3 In such a big country like Angola, the climate varies a lot, from tropical in the north, subtropical in the interior south and center, and desert in the Namibe region… However, in general, we can say that it has two seasons: a dry, colder season (May to September) and a hot, rainy season (October to April).
In Angola, the dry, colder season is called Cacimbo . You should be aware that when we say colder, it just means that it isn’t scorching hot! You can easily go to the beach during Cacimbo .
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 2 traveling to Angola Everything you need to know before travel to Angola](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Luanda-City.jpg)
#4 Angola used to be a Portuguese Colony and only became independent in 1975. After independence, it had almost 30 years of Civil War. And even before 1975, Angola was at war for independence for over a decade. That’s 40+ years of war…
#5 The official language of Angola is Portuguese. However, several other local languages are spoken in Angola, Kikongo, Kimbundu, and Umbundu. These are considered co-official languages.
#6 Very few Angolans speak foreign languages. However, you’ll be better off with English among the foreign languages. Anyway, I would try to learn a few words and expressions in Portuguese to try to communicate.
If you can’t find any other option, maybe you can try Spanish due to its similarity to Portuguese, but I would rely on that only as a last resort option.
#7 Angolan society is very harsh and sometimes aggressive. People are still rebounding from the 40+ years of war, with the horrible things it brings. Furthermore, it wasn’t that long time ago, so many internal and external wounds are still open. I would strongly avoid discussing politics in Angola.
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 3 traveling to Angola Things to know before going to Angola - A traditional Village in Angola](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Villages-of-Angola.jpg)
Do you want to know more about the Angola lifestyle? Check our 10 things you need to know about Angola!
#8 Despite its substantial oil reservoirs, Angola is a very poor (107th) and underdeveloped country. On top of this, It also has a really high unequal distribution of wealth, meaning that there are a few people really really rich, and most of the population is very poor. Furthermore, education and Health are also really bad.
Due to the oil industry, Angolan Economy has really grown in the last 15 years, but it still has a long way to go. Many infrastructures were almost completely destroyed in the wars and are still being rebuilt.
#9 Most of the Angolans are black (Ovimbundu, Ambundu, and Bakongo mostly), and some are mixed race. There is also a considerable presence of foreigners in Angola, mostly in Luanda. The foreigners are mainly Portuguese and Chinese. However, you can easily find Americans, French, Indian, Lebanese, Brazilian, and many others.
#10 Angolan love music and dancing, and they are pretty good at it! You can see them dancing everywhere, it’s really part of being Angolan. Kizomba, Tarraxinha, Semba, and kuduro are their most famous music and dance styles.
#11 The biggest shopping in Angola is on the streets of Luanda. You can see street sellers everywhere in Luanda, and they will sell you everything. Think of an object, and I have probably seen it in the streets! From toilet seats to food and drinks, from car parts to invoice books and tennis shoes or clothes… It’s really incredible.
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 4 traveling to Angola Angola travel Guide - Street sellers in Angola](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Picolé.jpg)
#12 Is Angola safe to travel to? It depends on what you compare it to, but in general, Angola isn’t a safe country.
Unless you are very adventurous or very used to traveling in this kind of country, we strongly advise you not to travel on your own. There are reports of robberies and even kidnappings in Angola, particularly in Luanda.
#13 Be prepared to be stopped by the police many, many times while traveling in Angola. They may also hint to you to pay them off to leave you alone… Doing it or not is your own decision and risk.
This usually happens when driving, but it can also happen when you are casually walking down the street… Always have your documents with you.
Travel in Angola and Tourism
#14 There is only one UNESCO heritage site in Angola. It’s the town of Mbanza Kongo, located on a plateau at an altitude of 570 meters. The town was the political and spiritual capital of the Kingdom of Kongo, one of the largest constituted states in Southern Africa from the 14th to 19th centuries. Unfortunately, we have never been there in Mbanza Congo.
#15 Luanda is the capital and biggest city of Angola. It receives almost all the investment, apart from the oil areas! It’s a very messy city but also full of life. The city is generally quite ugly, but the bay of Luanda is beautiful.
The boardwalk ( marginal de Luanda ) is an excellent place to do your daily exercise, and very close to it, you can find Angola’s National Bank, the currency museum, S. Miguel’s Fort, and other famous landmarks in Angola.
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 5 traveling to Angola Where to go in Angola? Luanda's boardwalk](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Marginal-de-Luanda-Angola.jpg)
#16 However, the best thing to do in Luanda is to go to the beach. The island of Luanda (not an actual island, you can drive there) has beautiful sandy beaches with warm water. Angolan beaches usually have nice bars and restaurants where you can eat, drink, and have fun.
Also, Mussulo is very close to Luanda and offers some other great beach spots. Mussulo is much less developed than the island of Luanda but also has a few beach bars. To get to Mussulo, you take a taxi boat from Embarcadouro or Benfica.
#17 Miradouro da Lua is a beautiful lookout to a unique landscape created by the winds and water. It’s right outside Luanda on the way to Kissama National Park . Its bright colors make it more beautiful and special.
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 6 traveling to Angola Things to know when traveling in Angola - Top Travel Destinations to visit in Angola](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Miradouro-da-Lua-Angola.jpg)
#18 Kissama National Park is Angola’s central Natural Park and is relatively close to Luanda (75km). It’s your best option if you want to do a Safari in Angola. The park is being repopulated after most of the animals were killed during the wars.
Now you can easily see Zebras, Giraffes, Elephants, and several antelopes. The plants in Kissama are also wonderful, with giant Baobab trees.

#19 The beaches of Cabo Ledo and Sangano (almost 100km south of Luanda) are lovely beaches with perfect yellow sand and beautiful warm blue seawater. These beaches are top-rated among expats and locals during weekends as they are a great weekend retreat.
#20 Kalandula falls in the district of Malanje are the most impressive in Angola and are considered to be the 2nd biggest in Africa behind Victoria Falls . They are almost 100 meters high and more than 400 meters wide.
We even consider it one of the best natural wonders in Africa .
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 7 traveling to Angola things to know when going to Angola - Kalandula waterfall](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Kalandula-Falls.jpg)
#21 However, Malanje has a few other attractions to offer. Besides Kalandula, we recommend visiting the Kwanza Rapids, the Black Stones of Pungo Andongo, and the much lesser-known Musseleje falls. If you want to visit this area of Angola, you should reserve at least two days for it.

#22 We have mentioned some great beaches earlier, but the best beaches in Angola are in Benguela Province! If you have the time, we strongly suggest you visit Benguela and its beaches.
Do you want to go to Benguela? Check how to do a Benguela Road trip
In Lobito, you should go to Restinga, which is similar to the island of Luanda but with cleaner water and sand. Nevertheless, the two best beaches in Angola are located in the south of Benguela: Baía Azul and Baía Farta (our favorite).
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 8 traveling to Angola things to know before going to Angola - Best Beaches of Angola](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Visit-Benguela-Cover.jpg)
#23 Our favorite region of Angola is Lubango , and believe it or not, it doesn’t have beaches! It’s much calmer than Luanda, making it a perfect place to escape the craziness of the capital.
Cick here to see everything you need to know about traveling to Lubango
Our favorite things to do in Lubando are the Tundavala Gap, driving Serra da Leba, going to the Lubango Sign (Hollywood style), and enjoying the best resort in Angola: Pululukwa.
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 9 traveling to Angola things to know before visiting Angola - Tundavala Gap in Lubango](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Tundavala-Gap-Lubango.jpg)
#24 Finally, our last suggestion in Angola is the Namib Desert and the Namibe town. You can quickly go there on a day trip from Lubango. This region is very arid and different from the rest of Angola, but that’s what makes it attractive. In the Namib desert, you can find the welwitschia, which only exists in Angola.

What to eat and drink in Angola
#25 Tradicional Angolan food is similar to other African Cuisine, with cassava being the staple ingredient of many dishes. Portuguese cuisine has significantly influenced Angolan cuisine, with many foods imported into Angola by the Portuguese.
#26 Angola has many good restaurants and a few particularly good ones. However, all of them are very, very expensive! Most of these restaurants are obviously in Luanda. Meat, fish, and seafood are usually delicious in Angola because of the high-quality ingredients used.
#27 Cassava is a very important plant in Angola, especially in the North. It is the largest source of carbohydrates in Angola. Angola is the 3rd largest producer of cassava in Africa and is also the biggest consumer.
The leaves of cassava (called kizaca) are used in dishes, usually boiled, and the roots are dried to make bombó and whipped to make fuba (flour).
#28 Funge (a kind of porridge) is the mainstay of the Angolan diet and is made from the referred cassava or corn fuba(flour). The north of Angola uses more fuba of cassava, and the south uses fuba of corn.
The texture of funge is very sticky, even gelatinous, and doesn’t have much of a flavor, so it’s best eaten with the sauce. Funge is more of a side dish than a main dish. It’s a substitute for pasta, rice, or potatoes.
#29 One thing that it’s particularly good in Angola is the roasted peanuts. In Angola, they are called Ginguba torrada and taste amazing. It’s sold everywhere, you can see the vendors roasting them in coal in the streets.
When it comes to peanuts, there’s also paracuca which is Ginguba candy made with sugar and sometimes vanilla, cinnamon, and other spices.
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 10 traveling to Angola What to eat in Angola ? Ginguba-torrada](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Ginguba-torrada.jpg)
#30 Angola’s National dish is probably Muamba de Galinha (Chicken Muamba). In this dish, the chicken is slow-cooked with okra, squash, dendém) paste. It is served with funge, and sometimes rice. Dendém is the fruit of the palm tree, and it is used a lot in Angolan cuisine, especially to make palm oil.
#31 Calulu is another typical Angolan dish, and it’s made with dried fish with vegetables, usually onions, tomatoes, okra, sweet potatoes, garlic, palm oil, and gimboa leaves (similar to spinach); It’s often served with funge and beans in palm oil
#32 Finally, we have Mufete, a combination of grilled fish, beans with palm oil, boiled plantains, boiled sweet potato, cassava flour, and the mufete sauce (a sauce with chopped onion, tomato, bell pepper, lemon, and olive oil).
It is a mouthful of flavor and traveldrafts’ favorite Angolan dish! A must-try for everyone going to Angola!

#33 There are several commercial beers are brewed in Angola, the oldest of which is Cuca, brewed in Luanda. Others include Eka (brewed in Dondo in Cuanza Norte), N’gola (brewed in Lubango), and Nocal (brewed in Luanda).

#34 One final word about food safety in Angola… You should be very aware of what you eat and where you eat in Angola. Often ingredients aren´t well washed or preserved correctly, becoming a danger to your health.
Also, never drink unbottled water. Note that typhoid fever is prevalent in Angola and is contagious through the water.

Money and Costs of traveling to Angola
#35 The currency in Angola is the Kwanza, and its official exchange rate is 1 USD to 255 Kwanza (July/18). However, the exchange on the streets is much higher because buying foreign currency in Angola is challenging.

#36 Luanda is one of the most expensive cities in the world , being nominated as the most expensive for a few years in a row! However, the rest of the country is pretty expensive, also.
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 13 traveling to Angola What to know about traveling in Angola - Things about Living in Angola](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Central-Bank-of-Angola.jpg)
The economic growth and investment from foreign companies created a very diverse society in Luanda. Actually, more than diverse, it’s a society within another society.
The population in Angola is generally very poor, but a smaller group of Angolans and foreigners are rich or at least get paid exceptionally well.
#37 In such an expensive country, everything is expensive or really, really expensive! However, accommodation and food are the ones that will entirely screw your budget. Paying 3 to 5 times more than almost anywhere else without any added benefits is perfectly normal.
Click here to check the actual prices in Angola and why are they so high!
#38 ATMs usually don’t charge for withdrawing money, however, due to the lack of foreign currency, you’ll get a much better deal exchanging money in an exchange office, and the difference will be very relevant. Note that exchanging money in the streets is illegal.
#39 Tippings isn’t part of the culture in Angola. You round up your bills if you feel like it or want to reward good service, but it isn’t mandatory.
How to travel in Angola
#40 It’s more than probable that you’ll enter Angola through Luanda’s Airport, as 99% of the people traveling to Angola travel to Luanda by plane. There are very few international flights to other cities.
On the other hand, you can easily fly from Luanda to the other big towns, like Lubango, Benguela, Huambo, and so on.
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 14 traveling to Angola Things to know before moving to Angola - Candongueiros - vans in Luanda](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Angola-54.jpg)
#41 You can catch an intercity bus if you don’t want to fly. Many buses connect the towns; however, they take a lot of time (the country is huge!) and are uncomfortable.
Within the cities, particularly Luanda, forget about public buses. You must take the blue vans ( candongueiros ) or call a taxi! As a foreigner, I strongly suggest you do not use the vans, but it’s up to you.
#42 The other options would be renting a car or, even better, renting a car with a driver. Renting a car is very expensive, expect about 100USD per day. It will be even more with a driver, but the difference won’t be that big. This solution gives all the flexibility you need, and if you choose to have a driver, you’d also avoid one of the most significant stress sources in Luanda, the traffic.
#43 Traffic in Luanda is a nightmare, particularly during rush hours, in the morning, and at the end of the day. On a typical day, it’ll take you 1h+ to do 10km in Luanda. If it’s a bad day, you may be there for 2 or 3 hours!
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 15 traveling to Angola Things to be aware when moving to Angola - Traffic jam in Luanda](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Angola-60.jpg)
#44 Even worse than the traffic is the way Angolans drive. It’s completely insane, without any rules or caring for other people or their own well-being. We have seen things that can’t really be explained. If you aren’t used to this kind of driving, I would strongly advise against driving in Angola.
#45 There aren’t highways in Angola, so there aren’t highway tolls also. Actually, the only toll I know in Angola is crossing the Kwanza river, and it’s pretty cheap compared to everything else.
![50 Things you need to know before traveling to Angola 16 traveling to Angola What to be aware when going to Angola - Things to do in Lubango](https://www.traveldrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Namibe-Angola.jpg)
#46 Fuel used to be very cheap in Angola, extremely cheap even. However, with the last oil crisis hitting Angola hard, the prices rose because the government stopped subsidizing fuel and even began taxing it. Nowadays, they are still cheaper than most countries, but not as dirt cheap as they were ten years ago.
Other helpful information about traveling in Angola
#47 How is the internet in Angola? The Internet in Angola isn’t very good. The best hotels will have wifi but don’t expect it to be granted or it to work perfectly…
This has been improving but expect to have problems connecting. You may buy a data card or even a 4G Pen from companies like UNITEL and Movicel. It should work in Luanda and other big cities but may not work far from them. Also, 3G is usually a bit unstable and slow.

#48 Is Angola dirty? Angola is probably one of the dirtiest countries we have ever been to. Even Cambodia seems clean when compared to Angola! Luanda is much worse than the other cities, but even the others are very far away from clean! Expect to find trash anywhere and everywhere.
#49 How to get a visa to Angola? Angola is probably one of the most challenging countries to get a visa, particularly a working visa. We strongly suggest you get professional help to conduct the whole process. It takes weeks or months, and it’s very frustrating.

#50 What vaccines do I need to take before going to Angola? Taking the yellow fever vaccine is mandatory, and you’ll be asked to present your International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP). A few other vaccines are also highly recommended, like polio, typhoid fever, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B.
We recommend you see a tropical medicine doctor before traveling to Angola.

Staying healthy in Angola: Here’s what you need to know
Planning a visit to Angola? Stay informed with essential health guidelines for a worry-free trip. Here's what travelers should know.
Make sure to stay updated on routine vaccines
Keep updated with Angola's COVID-19 requirements, such as quarantine, testing, or vaccine certificates, through your airline or the Angolan government website.
Vaccinations for diseases like yellow fever are mandatory for entry into Angola. Check the site of the World Health Organization (WHO) for specific vaccination policies.
Depending on travel plans, vaccines for hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and malaria prophylaxis might be needed. Consult the CDC's Travelers' Health page for recommendations.
Medical facilities
Urban areas like Luanda have hospitals and clinics that offer various services, but facilities may not meet the standards found in high-income countries.
In rural and remote areas, medical facilities are limited, and access to emergency care can be challenging.
Medical services often require payment upfront, regardless of whether you have travel health insurance. Ensure your insurance covers medical treatment in Angola, including evacuation if necessary.
Prescription and over-the-counter medications are available, but supply can be erratic. Bring essential medications with you.
Health insurance
It's crucial to have robust health insurance for travel to Angola. Medical care, especially private, can be costly. Ensure your insurance covers:
High medical expense limits.
Medical evacuation to your home country.
Trip cancellation, delay, and interruption.
Baggage coverage.
Confirm your coverage levels with your insurance provider before departure.
Things to be aware of when visiting Angola
