Angola - Bradt

3rd edition / July 2019 384 PAGES / 27 maps Angola is no destination for beginners. It has no Starbucks or McDonalds, and there's only one functioning escalator in the whole country. Only seven years have passed since it emerged from three decades of armed struggle; the land is littered with 10million unexploded mines (which, interestingly, the elephants have learnt to detect and avoid) and there are few tourist facilities. But for the adventurous, this country offers over 1,000km of unspoilt beaches, excellent fishing and surfing, tropical forests and magnificent bird life. The first-ever English guidebook to the country, Bradt's Angola is essential reading for business travellers and pioneering adventurers alike. • The first-ever English-language tourist guidebook to Angola, and the first tourist guide in any language written since before independence from Portugal in 1975 •Angola's visitor numbers are soaring as the government uses its massive oil and diamond wealth to rebuild the country's shattered infrastructure •Provides in-depth coverage of the once-elegant colonial capital, Luanda
