What to do there

1

Luanda and Ilha de Luanda

The lively Atlantic capital: the bay-front Marginal promenade, colonial fortresses and the Ilha peninsula lined with beaches, bars and seafood restaurants.

2

Kalandula Falls

One of Africa's largest waterfalls (~105 m high, ~400 m wide) on the Lucala River, set in lush tropical greenery in northern Angola.

3

The Namibe desert and dunes

Dramatic red dunes and rock formations on the southern coast where desert meets ocean; gateway to the Arco lagoon and Iona National Park.

4

Miradouro da Lua

An otherworldly eroded canyon landscape just south of Luanda, where millions of years of wind and rain carved a 'lunar' panorama — a classic day trip.

5

Mussulo Island

A sandy peninsula near Luanda dotted with beach restaurants and calm lagoon waters, perfect for a day of swimming, seafood and boat trips.

6

The Benguela and Lobito coast

Charming colonial coastal cities with palm-lined boulevards, beautiful beaches and one of Africa's great rail terminals (the Benguela Railway).
