Angola

Angola occupies a wide band of southern Africa, where the Namib Desert edges the Atlantic coast and dense Congo Basin forest fills the far north. The interior rises onto dry savanna plateaus scarred by decades of civil conflict, though the country has rebuilt steadily since peace came in 2002. Luanda is one of Africa's fastest-changing capitals, loud with construction cranes and Atlantic light.

About Angola

Overview

Angola borders the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Namibia, and the Republic of Congo, with a long Atlantic coastline running roughly 1,600 kilometres. The capital is Luanda. Portuguese is the official language, a legacy of five centuries of colonial presence, and the kwanza is the national currency. Culturally, Angola blends Bantu traditions across more than thirty ethnic groups with strong Lusophone influences.
