About Angola

Angola is a country which has numerous locations that are naturally beautiful. This country has different types of landscapes starting from scenic beaches to rivers with waterfalls, etc. Since its tourism industry is still at a budding stage, the visitors to this country can have adventurous trips. 

Once a European colony, this African country is an independent country now. Having the Atlantic Ocean at its west, this country shares its border with nations like Zambia, Namibia and the Republic of Congo. Whenever we talk about African tourism it is the places like Egypt or Cape Town that come to our mind. But then Africa has much more to offer to its tourists.

Culture

Portuguese is both the official and dominant language, in the black, mestiço and white populations of Angola. It is spoken as the primary or secondary language by almost 80% of the population. Most Angolans speak Portuguese and practice Roman Catholicism. It's important to recognise, however, that these dominant cultural traits are expressed against a backdrop of considerable cultural diversity in Angola due to the many ethnic communities and tribes indigenous to the country.
