Northern Africa
East Africa
Southern Africa
Long ravaged by civil war, after two decades of peace and reconstruction, this land of welcome and contrasts awaits the most adventurous travellers, curious to discover one of the last African destinations that is opening up in small steps to international tourism.
Luanda, the capital, where the notes of kizomba and kuduru resound, beautifully nestled between the bay of the same name and the Ilha do Cabo, is a fascinating mixture of ruined Portuguese colonial architecture and modern skyscrapers of oil companies and banks, of mammoth construction sites and muddy slums.
In the South, where mountain, desert and ocean landscapes offer the visitor encounters with the inhabitants of the many tribes that follow a traditional way of life: from the semi-nomadic Mumuhuila, famous for their women’s flashy hairstyles and numerous colourful necklaces, to the Muhimba, related to the Himba of Namibia, from the Muhacaona aborigines to the Mucubal, related to the Herero who live between the Namib Desert and the Cunene River.
