Short guide to Angola

Angola is not a tourist destination but is instead a traveller´s destination.

Although Angola is gifted with stunning countryside and natural resources, it is burdened with a lack of infrastructure and woefully underdeveloped tourism industry. Nonetheless, for those with a little adventure in their hearts, Angola is a rewarding country to visit.

Rocked by years of bloody civil war in the fight for independence from Portugal, this Central African country is now slowly finding its feet in the struggle for self-government and the use of its resources.

The most obvious conflict Angola faces is whether to be an industrial nation or skip that part of economic development and go straight to the sustainable eco-tourism market. While Angola possesses vast quantities of oil, diamonds and natural gas, mining for these not only puts the country at risk of exploitation by more developed nations but also spells an end to the pristine country that would sustain a strong tourist industry.

Unfortunately, the potential profits of eco-tourism are slow to arrive and so the struggle between the two camps continues.

In the meantime, Angola still possesses the wild jungle interior that captivates a visitor's imagination, and the wildlife reserves and sandy beaches that are irresistible to travellers.

If you are planning to visit Angola, and especially if you are planning to venture outside of Luanda, the capital, it is vital to be extremely mindful of your personal safety. It is also vital to learn Portuguese, as you will be extremely lucky to find anyone who speaks English.
