About 'self catering london'|A Guide to London England Holiday Home Rentals vs. Hotels and Inns








Ten               years               have               passed               since               Angola               emerged               from               three               decades               of               war,               a               conflict               which               practically               destroyed               their               infrastructure               and               killed               many               people.

Angola               obtained               its               independence               from               Portugal               in               1975,               and               Portuguese               is               the               official               language.

English               is               somewhat               spoken               in               hotels,               restaurants,               and               banks.

The               Kwanza               is               the               official               currency,               but               US               Dollars               are               widely               used.

Luanda               is               the               capital               city.
               Angolans               are               moving               forward,               reconstruction               is               taking               place               at               a               fast               pace,               and               change               is               visible.

The               government               is               making               efforts               to               encourage               tourism               by               building               roads,               railways,               and               new               hotels.

While               Angola               is               not               quite               ready               for               mass               tourism,               positive               changes               are               taking               place.
               Where               is               Angola?
               Angola               is               a               West               African               country,               on               the               Atlantic               Ocean               side.

As               a               reference,               Angola               is               twice               the               size               of               Texas.
               Angola               enjoys               relatively               good               climate,               and               the               Benguela               Current               ensures               pleasant               weather.

The               best               time               to               visit               is               May               and               September,               after               the               rainy               season,               when               the               weather               is               cooler.

Due               to               poor               roads               in               the               interior,               it               is               not               advisable               to               travel               outside               of               major               cities               during               the               rainy               season.
               Infrastructure
               The               African               Cup               of               Nations,               the               most               prominent               African               soccer               tournament               was               held               in               Angola               in               January               2010.

This               event               attracted               investors               who               built               mid-range               to               luxury               hotels,               remodeled               the               international               airport               in               Luanda,               built               several               new               stadiums,               and               new               roads.
               Getting               There
               Reaching               the               capital               of               Luanda               is               easy.

There               are               daily               flights               from               Lisbon,               Portugal,               and               South               Africa.

Twice               weekly               flights:               London,               Paris,               and               Dubai.

Thrice               weekly:               Air               Namibia,               Air               Ethiopia,               Kenya               Airways.

Once               weekly:               Lufthansa.

From               the               U.S.,               there               is               currently               a               direct               flight,               available               only               to               workers/families               of               oil               companies               in               Angola.
               Car               Hire
               It               is               possible               to               hire               a               car               with               driver               on               arrival               at               the               International               Airport               or               through               Hertz,               Avis,               and               SIXT               Car               (EuropCar)               online.

Shocking               is               the               price               of               $300+               per               day               (with               driver)               for               a               mid-size               car.

Self-driving               is               not               recommended,               unless               you               speak               Portuguese               and               have               an               International               Driver's               license.
               Angola's               Highlights:
               Thirty               years               of               isolation               preserved               the               country's               natural               beauty,               and               Angola               offers               clean,               pristine               beaches,               a               variety               of               impressive               geography,               and               tremendous               geological               features.
               Luanda
               A               once               lovely               colonial               city,               is               now               dilapidated.

However,               there               are               many               colonial               buildings,               such               as               forts,               churches               and               government               buildings,               being               restored,               all               of               which               are               begging               to               be               revisited.

Three               decades               ago,               Angola               was               a               sought-after               destination               by               Europeans;               Luanda               was               called               "the               Riviera               of               Africa."               Luanda's               attraction               are               the               colonial               buildings               and               beaches.
               Kissama               National               Park,               one               hour               from               Luanda               offers               game               viewing.

There               are               no               predators,               but               there               is               a               healthy               population               of               elephants,               giraffes,               zebras,               antelopes,               birds,               reptiles,               etc.

The               park               is               easily               accessed               in               less               than               three               hours               from               Luanda.

               Beaches:               Luanda,               Lobito               and               Benguela

Enjoy               the               beaches               on               the               ocean-side,               but               avoid               swimming               in               the               contaminated               bay               waters.

Also,               the               Ilha               is               a               small               island               linked               to               Luanda,               with               good               beaches               and               great               restaurants.
               Lobito               and               Benguela               are               coastal               towns               approximately               550               kms               from               Luanda.

The               beaches               are               beautiful,               as               are               the               colonial               buildings               untouched               by               the               war.

               Waterfalls
               Angola               has               several               waterfalls,               but               the               most               important               is               Kalandulas,               near               Malange.

Kalandula               is               said               to               be               Africa's               third               highest.
               Fishing
               South               Africans               have               known               for               decades               that               Angola               is               an               "angler's               paradise".

The               Flamingo               Lodge               in               the               Namibe               is               a               very               rustic               lodge               catering               to               fishermen.

Lubango               is               the               gateway               to               the               Namib               Desert,               and               the               drive               through               the               Serra               da               Leba,               a               highway               built               with               hairpin               turns,               will               leave               you               exhilarated.
               Visa               &               Money
               Visas               must               be               obtained               in               your               country               of               residence.

The               visa               process               is               slow               and               tedious.

Cost               is               around               $200.
               Credit               cards:               accepted               at               major               hotels               and               restaurants.

               Luanda               is               very               expensive,               and               the               visitor               should               plan               accordingly,               with               at               least               $500               per               day               (hotel,               food               and               car).
               Conclusion
               The               proposed               Kavango-Zambesi               Transfrontier               Conservation               Area               (KAZA),               an               area               roughly               the               size               of               Italy,               promises               to               be               the               greatest               conservation               area               in               the               world.

KAZA               will               be               shared               by               Angola,               Botswana,               Namibia,               Zambia               and               Zimbabwe.

KAZA               will               allow               the               natural               movement               of               game,               such               as               elephants,               and               other               migratory               animals.

If               this               park               becomes               a               reality,               Angola               will               certainly               benefit               in               terms               of               tourism.
               Angola               is               not               a               destination               for               the               tourist               seeking               luxury,               and               seeing               Angola               requires               a               certain               amount               of               fortitude               and               money.

Those               who               venture               here               will               be               richly               rewarded               with               amazing               sights,               very               friendly               locals,               and               memories               that               will               last               a               lifetime!
               -------
               The               author               lives               in               Luanda,               Angola               since               2008.
