Understand

Portuguese is spoken widely in Luanda, Huambo, Benguela and all the provincial capitals, but elsewhere native languages are more commonplace. Not learning at least basic Portuguese is ASKING FOR TROUBLE!

Get in

The best way to get to angola is by plane.

By plane

There are flights via Johanesburg, and direct from Europe via Lisbon, Paris and London.

By train

There are a few short passenger lines open but they arent very safe

By car

OK in Luanda, and in between main cities, elsewhere road quality greatly decreases.

By bus

By boat
