From the mythical, northern Congo River, to the Cunene that fades southwards into the Namib Desert, Angola stretches more than 1,600 kilometres along the Atlantic coast. Long ravaged by civil war, after two decades of peace and reconstruction, this land of welcome and contrasts awaits the most adventurous travellers, curious to discover one of the last African destinations that is opening up in small steps to international tourism.
The north, characterised by immense spaces and unexplored places, enchants with its natural beauty, thanks to the mighty waterfalls of Kalandula, the lunar landscapes of Miraduro de Lua, the giraffes in the Kissama reserve, and the roar of the waves on the beach of Cabo Ledo, popular with surfers.
Luanda, the capital, where the notes of kizomba and kuduru resonate, beautifully nestled between the bay of the same name and the Ilha do Cabo, is a fascinating mixture of ruined Portuguese colonial architecture and modern skyscrapers of oil companies and banks, of mammoth construction sites and muddy slums.
The South, where between mountain, desert and ocean landscapes, offers the visitor encounters with the inhabitants of the many tribes that follow a traditional lifestyle: from the semi-nomadic Mumuhuila, famous for their women’s flashy hairstyles and numerous colourful necklaces, to the Muhimba, related to the Himba of Namibia, from the Muhacaona aborigines to the Mucubal, related to the Herero, who live between the Namib Desert and the Cunene River.
