Angola is not a place for someone looking for a "disneyland" vacation. I would not feel confortable with my wife or children anywhere near a place like Angola. Almost every official you encounter in the country trys to "shake you down" for cash. At the airport, police on the street, almost everyone. The people who are not ...

BEAUTY OF NATURE
By RAJEEV K, 11/01/06
This place has some nice beaches. A long Lagoon called Mussulloo is beautiful and one has to go by boat. Ilha de Luanda looks beautiful in the night. There are some nice restaurants in the town. One gets a beautiful scene of sunset. THe place is quite expensive and not suitable for budget travellers.

Country of contrasts
By hellseve, 05/30/06

I have been mainly in Luanda in March, 2006 and it has been one of the most interesting places to visit ...

Living in the 3rd world
By Chuck, 05/02/06
My wife and I lived in Luanda for 3 years from 1997 to 2000. I return on business three to four timesa year now. I stay at Hotel Tropico. Refurbished in 99, now is equivalent of any European 4Star. I have many friends and dine out every meal. Lots of restaurants are very good, most very expensive, and most are Portuguese. Lots of good beach clubs/restaurants on Ihla,

Luanda & Saurimo
By bjauned, 02/20/06
The night life is fabulous and there are people from all over the world in Luanda. The food was amazing and the people gracious. I stayed with family friends for 3 months and had a wonderful time. If you get the opportunity, visit Lunda Sul. I spent time in Saurimo and it is a wonderful small town with a BIG good time atmosphere. the landscape ...

Why go for other than business?
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 09/29/05
The Angolans have no respect for their own country, let alone the property or rights of others. Anytime you are stopped by a police officer and asked for money, its a sure sign that government is corrupt. Why should anyone try to help people that will not help them selves in such small things as litter?
There is not a reason to visit Angola ...
