Angola Avante! And so shall you. This pearl of Africa has been closed off to tourism for many years and has been infamous as an incredibly difficult and expensive destination. Recently Angola’s visa policy has changed drastically and we are here to make your unique trip less of a headache at incredibly competitive pricing.
We’re offering a pre-tour extension to visit the Cabinda Exclave for €595. Cabinda is located within Congo and is of special interest to YPT as both an exclave and having had an independence movement for quite some time. The area is rich in oil (holding 60% of Angola’s reserve) and is one of the wealthiest parts of the country.
Group | Start Date | End Date | Days | Price |
Pre Tour Extension: Cabinda Exclave | February 11th | February 13th | 3 days | €595 |
Group A: Luanda & Kalandula Falls | February 13th | February 17th | 5 days | €1995 |
Group B: Luanda, Kalandula Falls, Lubango, Chibia, Oncocua & Namibe | February 13th | February 23rd | 11 days | €3995 |
The tour begins in the capital Luanda. This city of 2.5 million has had its fair share of turbulent history during the Portuguese colonial times and afterwards with José Eduardo dos Santos. You’ll see the military museum, including its DPRK-like propaganda, and the local famous Iron Palace.
We’ll then join the largest carnival party thrown in Africa! The largest and most important holiday to the Angolans. Vibrant colours, exquisite costumes, live music, beers, and endless dancing!
We’ll then take you to one of the most famous landmarks in not just Angola, but the whole of Africa – Kalandula Falls – 105 meters (344 feet) high and spanning 400 meters (1,300 feet) wide. One of the largest waterfalls by volume in Africa. We’ll spend an evening at a lodge that overlooks directly over the waterfall – absolutely stunning!
On the way we’ll be stopping at N’dalatando, formally known as Vila Salazar by the Portuguese colonial authorities by honouring the Portuguese dictator Salazar. As well as exploring the rapids of the Kwanza River and overnighting in Malanje – one of the African continent’s fastest growing cities.
Extend your stay in Angola with us on our Group B option to further grasp how diverse and incredible both the scenery and people in this large African country is. You’ll board a domestic flight and head south to Lubango – a city amongst the mountains.
We’ll head further south towards the border of Namibia to Chibia and Oncocua where we’ll meet and greet our tribal hosts of Mumhila and Mucubalin. We’ll camp in the desert and prepare a campfire dinner for you and the elders of the tribe.
We’ll then take you down the Serra da Leba Pass – one of the most breathtaking roadways of Angola through the desert and to the coast town of Namibe. We’ll then return to Luanda, to ensure we haven’t missed out any of the must-see sights as the tour concludes.
Our Angola tour can be combined with our Sao Tome & Principe Tour. Make the most out of your visit to Africa and combine both tours!
