Angola

 

Angola is a giant jigsaw puzzle of different climates, landscapes, cultures and colours. From mountains to vast open plains, wide white beaches to thick tropical rainforest, Angola has it all, as if each of its eighteen provinces were a different country. Lubango has a mild temperate climate, Luanda is hot and dry, while Cabinda is steamy and tropical. Much of the landscape is dramatic, with plunging waterfalls, bizarre rock formations and deep gorges. Leba mountain in Huila province rises out of Tundavala gorge to give stunning views of the vast Namibe desert. On this trip we will be amongst the first to explore this contrasting area of green forests, a maize of rivers changing to a more dry area with huge baobab forests ending up at the Atlantic with its beautiful beaches.
