Conclusion: The Best Places To Visit In Angola And How To Plan Your Trip

This blog post will give you some tips on how to plan your trip to Angola.

The first thing to consider is the time of year. Angola has a tropical climate, so it can get quite hot during the day and chilly during the night. The best time to visit is between November and March when it is at its warmest. You should also make sure that you have enough cash in US dollars when you go as it might be difficult to find an ATM that accepts your card outside of Luanda. It's also worth checking with your bank before you go to see if they offer any travel money cards which could save you a lot of hassle abroad. You should also take malaria pills before you go as there are many cases of malaria in Angola due to mosquitoes carrying the disease, so it's important not to take any risks. The next thing to consider is the type of holiday you want. Angola appeals to visitors looking for a more cultural experience, so this might be a good choice for you. Angola also has many natural attractions including beaches, national parks, and game reserves that are perfect for hikers or nature lovers. You should also try to visit during the dry season as it can get quite cold at night when it rains during this time of year. Cities that are worth visiting in Angola include N'Djili, Luanda, Huambo, and Kunene.
