Note

Please note: Angola is a very-low-income country with very basic infrastructure, and vastly different to the western culture mentality. Local conditions may be challenging; therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Coaches, guides, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. A minimal amount of easy walking over short distances, at times over uneven, cobblestone surfaces, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach, the anthropology museum and mausoleum. Order of sites visited may vary from description. Lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes and sun protection is recommended. Anticipate high temperatures and humidity and we recommend staying hydrated by bringing your water bottle. Guests are informed that tips to local guides and drivers are at the guest’s discretion.
