Angola

A country on Africa's southwest Atlantic coast with spectacular waterfalls, desert coastline and highland wonders, and still few visitors.

Angola lies in southwestern Africa, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, with terrain rising from coastal plains to a central plateau and extending south into the Namib Desert. The capital, Luanda, is a large seaside city. Highlights include Kalandula Falls in Malanje Province, the Tundavala Fissure and Serra da Leba mountain road in Huíla Province, the desert and Iona National Park in Namibe Province, and the World Heritage site of Mbanza Kongo. The dry season from May to Sep is cooler and the best time to travel. The main international gateway is Luanda's international airport, and the official language is Portuguese.
