Angola (Broché)

Surf one of the longest left-hand waves in the world at Cabo Ledo. Celebrate carnival in Luanda when the city comes alive. Hunt for the mythical Queen Ginga's footprints, petrified in the rocks of Pungo Andongo. Trek through Maiombe Forest Reserve in search of monkeys, chimpanzees and gorillas. Peer over the edge of the vertiginous Tunda-Vats cliffs. Angola is fast emerging as a travel destination of astonishing diversity and interest.
Relics of a fading colonial past rub shoulders with sophisticated bars and nightclubs in the capital Luanda, while the national parks offer spectacular . landscapes where you may be lucky enough to spot a rare giant sable antelope. Race against the tide in the Foz do Cunene beach run, drive through the desert in a 4x4 or simply relax among the palm trees in the balmy city of Benguela. Fully updated for its third edition to reflect the country's rapidly developing tourism infrastructure, Badt's Angola remains an essential companion for the adventurous traveller.
