ANGOLA

is located in southwestern Africa. A large country, Angola takes in a broad variety of landscapes, including the semidesert Atlantic littoral bordering Namibia’s “Skeleton Coast,” the sparsely populated rainforest interior, the rugged highlands of the south, the Cabinda exclave in the north, and the densely settled towns and cities of the northern coast and north-central river valleys. The capital and commercial centre is Luanda, a large port city on the northern coast that blends Portuguese-style colonial landmarks with traditional African housing styles and modern industrial complexes.

PLACES TO VISIT IN ANGOLA

SERRA DA LEBA

The Serra da Leba road trip is one of the most amazing roads in the world and it will keep you mesmerized for the entire time you are driving on it. If you find yourself in Angola, you can’t miss checking this out of your main destinations because it is worth every mile of it! This road is not just amazing in its geographical aspect but also thanks to its unique legend. The road, considered a masterpiece in road engineering, was built by a Portuguese woman who died upon viewing it on the day it was completed. The Serra da Leba pass is elevated to 1845m and has 7 hairpin bends that will test your nerves. It’s regularly featured as one of the most dangerous roads in the world due to its features.

IONA NATIONAL PARK

If you are visiting Angola, you simply can’t skip Iona National Park. Locally, this area is known by its Portuguese name, Parque Nacional do Iona and it is considered the widest park in the country. You can find this park in the south west region of Angola, in the Namibe Province and it offers you around 15,200 square kilometres to explore and enjoy. The park is extremely rich in reptiles species and 8 species are strictly specific to this area. These unique animals that can’t be found anywhere else are two lizards, three geckos, and three skinks species and they ca be freely admired in the Iona National Park.

BAIA DOS TIGRES

Baia dos Tigres was initially a little peninsula on the East side of Angola but nature had other plans with this piece of land. The isthmus of the area was in the south while on the other side there was a cozy fishing village named Tigres. The ocean was very strong in 1962 and sent its waves through the isthmus which made the peninsula separate as an island. This is how Tiger village changed its status into an island status almost in a matter of hours! You can imagine the natural beauty this event left behind or you can put Baia dos Tigres on your travelling list for your Angola visit.
