Angola Travel Guide

Productive in natural resources (principally oil, gas, manganese and diamonds) and with 4 outstanding ports on its 1000s of land mile* of southern African Atlantic Ocean coastline, the damaged nation of Republic of Angola all the same remains absorbed in impoverishment, disease and societal disorder, lacking infrastructure and cluttered with millions of undischarged landmines.

Its disquieted and grievous state is a bequest of more than than a quarter of a century of damn civil state of war, which followed independence from Portuguese Republic in 1975. The land is today apparently at serenity, but dispute still ramps in the Cabinda enclave to the north and signals of recuperation from days of strife are slow to come out.

Hopes can be trapped, however, on the fact that Angola is Africa’s 2nd largest oil exporter, after Nigeria, and production is set doubling during the next 5 yrs.

The city itself conserves a few hotels and eating houses, which fight to offer reasonable facilities for business concern travellers in the face of food deficits and limited basic services.
