After the\u00a0independence, it had almost 30 years of\u00a0Civil War. And even before 1975,\u00a0Angola was at war for independence for more than a decade. That\u2019s 40+ years\u00a0of war\u2026<\/p>\n<p>#5 The official language of Angola is Portuguese. Although several other local languages are spoken in Angola,\u00a0Kikongo,\u00a0 Kimbundu, and Umbundu. These are considered co-official languages.<\/p>\n<p>#6 Very few Angolan speak foreign languages. However, among the foreign languages, you\u2019ll be better off with English. Anyway, I would try to learn a few words and expressions in Portuguese to try to communicate.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t find any other option maybe you can\u00a0try\u00a0Spanish due to its similarity\u00a0to Portuguese, but I would rely on that only as a last resort option.<\/p>\n<p>#7 Angolan\u00a0society is very harsh and sometimes\u00a0aggressive. People are still rebounding from the 40+ years of war, with the horrible things it brings. Furthermore, it wasn\u2019t that long time ago so many internal and external wounds are still open. I would strongly avoid discussing politics in Angola.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-7237\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Villages-of-Angola.jpg\" alt=\"Things to know before going to Angola - A traditional Village in Angola\" class=\"wp-image-7237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Villages-of-Angola.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Villages-of-Angola-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Villages-of-Angola-768x477.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Villages-of-Angola-520x323.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Villages-of-Angola.jpg\" alt=\"Things to know before going to Angola - A traditional Village in Angola\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Villages-of-Angola.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Villages-of-Angola-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Villages-of-Angola-768x477.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Villages-of-Angola-520x323.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>Traditional Village in Angola<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Do you want to know more about the Angola lifestyle?

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.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the oil industry, Angolan Economy has really grown in the last 15 years but it still has a long way to come. Many infrastructures\u00a0were almost completely destroyed in the wars and are still being rebuilt.<\/p>\n<p>#9 The vast majority of the Angolan are Black (Ovimbundu, Ambundu, and Bakongo mostly) and some mixed race. There is also a huge presence of foreigners in Angola, mostly in Luanda. The foreigners\u00a0are\u00a0mainly Portuguese and Chinese. However, you can easily find Americans, French, Indian, Lebanese, Brazilians and many other.<\/p>\n<p>#10 Angolan love music and dancing and they are pretty good at it! You can see them dancing everywhere, it\u2019s really part of being Angolan. Kizomba, Tarraxinha, Semba, and kuduro are their most famous music and dance styles.<\/p>\n<p>#11 The biggest shopping in Angola is the streets of Luanda. You can see streets 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\u2026 It\u2019s really incredible.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-7155\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Picol%C3%A9.jpg\" alt=\"Angola travel Guide - Street sellers in Angola\" class=\"wp-image-7155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Picol\u00e9.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Picol\u00e9-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Picol\u00e9-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Picol\u00e9-520x364.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Picol%C3%A9.jpg\" alt=\"Angola travel Guide - Street sellers in Angola\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Picol\u00e9.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Picol\u00e9-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Picol\u00e9-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Picol\u00e9-520x364.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>Street seller in Angola<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>#12 Is Angola safe to travel?

It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>#15 Luanda is the capital and biggest city of Angola. It receives almost all the investment, apart from the oil areas! It\u2019s a very messy city but it\u2019s also full of life. In general, the city is quite ugly, but the bay of Luanda is beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>The boardwalk (<em>marginal de Luanda<\/em>) is a nice place to do your daily exercise, and very close to it you can find Angola\u2019s National Bank, the currency museum, and S.

The island of Luanda (not an actual island, you can drive there) has beautiful sandy beaches with warm water. These beaches usually have nice bars and restaurants where you can eat, drink and have some fun. Also, Mussulo is also 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.<\/p>\n<p>#17\u00a0<em>Miradouro da Lua<\/em> is a beautiful lookout to a unique landscape created by the winds and water.

Most of these restaurants are obviously in Luanda. Meat, fish, and seafood are usually very good in Angola because of the high quality of ingredients used.<\/p>\n<p>#27 Cassava is a very important plant in Angola, especially in the North. It is the largest source of carbohydrates in Angola. Angola is\u00a0the 3rd largest producer of cassava in Africa and is also the biggest consumer. \u00a0The leaves of cassava (called kizaca) are used in dishes usually\u00a0boiled and\u00a0the roots are dried to make\u00a0bomb\u00f3 and whipped to make\u00a0fuba (flour).<\/p>\n<p>#28 Funge (a kind of porridge) is the mainstay of the Angolan diet and is\u00a0made 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\u2019t have much of a\u00a0flavor, so it\u2019s best eaten with the sauce. Funge is more of a side dish than a main dish. It\u2019s a\u00a0substitute for pasta, rice or potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>#29 One thing that it\u2019s particularly good in Angola are the roasted peanuts. In Angola, they are called <em>Ginguba torrada<\/em> and taste amazing. It\u2019s sold everywhere,\u00a0you can see the vendors roasting them in coal in the streets.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to peanuts, there\u2019s also paracuca which is Ginguba candy, made with sugar and sometimes vanilla, cinnamon, and other spices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-7154\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Ginguba-torrada.jpg\" alt=\"What to eat in Angola ?

It\u2019s perfectly normal to have to pay 3 to 5 times more than almost anywhere else and without any added benefits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-8430\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1320\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Accommodation-in-Lubango-cover.jpg\" alt=\"Things about visiting Angola - Accommodation in Lubango Angola\" class=\"wp-image-8430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Accommodation-in-Lubango-cover.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Accommodation-in-Lubango-cover-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Accommodation-in-Lubango-cover-768x291.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Accommodation-in-Lubango-cover-520x197.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1320\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Accommodation-in-Lubango-cover.jpg\" alt=\"Things about visiting Angola - Accommodation in Lubango Angola\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-8430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Accommodation-in-Lubango-cover.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Accommodation-in-Lubango-cover-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Accommodation-in-Lubango-cover-768x291.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Accommodation-in-Lubango-cover-520x197.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\"><figcaption>Pululukwa, the best resort in Angola and one of the best we have ever stayed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Click here to check the actual prices in Angola and why are they so high!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>#38 ATM\u2019s usually don\u2019t charge for withdrawing money, however, due to lack of foreign currency you\u2019ll get a much better deal exchange money in an exchange office and the difference will be very relevant.

There are many buses connecting the towns, however, they take a lot of time (the country is huge!) and are not very comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Within the cities, particularly Luanda, forget about public buses. You need to take the blue vans (<em>candongueiros<\/em>) or call a taxi! As a foreigner, I strongly suggest you\u00a0do not use the vans, but it\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n<p>#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. With a driver, it will be even more, but the difference won\u2019t be that big. This solution gives all the flexibility you need and if you chose to have a driver you\u2019ll also avoid on one of the biggest stresses in Luanda, the traffic.<\/p>\n<p>#43 Traffic in\u00a0Luanda is a nightmare, particularly during rush hours, in the morning and in the end of the day. In a normal day, it\u2019ll take you 1h+ to do 10km in Luanda.
