Travel tips for Angola

  • 1

    Carry cash in Angolan kwanza (AOA) as many rural areas and small businesses don’t accept cards or foreign currency.

  • 2

    Hire a local guide in Luanda or Huambo to navigate the city safely and uncover insider spots like the Mercado do Roque.

  • 3

    Visit between May and September for cooler weather, but pack layers as desert nights can get chilly.
