Note

Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking, standing for some time during the experience. The total walking distance is approximately 100 meters, and there are no stairs or elevators involved at any venues. While the venues are wheelchair accessible, guests must be able to embark and disembark the vehicle or vessel without assistance and negotiate a few steps. 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. Lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes, sun protection and insect repellant is recommended. Anticipate high temperatures and humidity and we recommend staying hydrated by bringing your water bottle.
