Would you have this tour for 12/4/2027

Still not sure if we will have it exactly on that date. Around september/october we shall have the new dates posted.

How safe are the sites that are proposed? Secondly, since meals are not provided except breakfast, how much approx do we need to provide per person for same?

Overall, this itinerary is considered safe when done as an organized guided tour, like the one we offer. The trip is carefully planned and includes experienced local guides, private transportation, and stays in reliable hotels. For food around $40-60 USD per day is usually sufficient, depending on personal preferences.

Is the flight from Namibe to Luanda included in the price? When will we know what hotel we will stay in at Luanda, as may need to arrive a day before to meet the starting time.

Domestic flight Luanda-Lubango/Namibe-Luanda are not included in the price (ca. 300-350 EUR). Very good idea to arrive a day before the tour starts - it give the best start. We will know the name of the hotel a month before the tour starts or earlier.

what is the best time to visit Angola. What is the best tour to see the natural highlights of the country. Is it safe to visit these destinations in angola. what are the accommodations like, and how much time is spent trveling from place to place.

The best time to visit Angola is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. Many of the destinations in Angola are safe to visit with an experienced local guide or tour operator. We always keep up to date with local security developments and adapt the routes accordingly to ensure your safety. We use standard hotels and guest houses (rooms with private facilities and breakfast). Expect to spend some time traveling between locations, especially outside Luanda. Some highlights are separated by long drives (5–7 hours) or domestic flights.

Could you please confirm whether the tour is going ahead. Also how many people have confirmed so far? If I am reading your website correctly there will only be a dedicated tour guide if there are 8 people - is this correct? Also, do you have any photos of the accommodation?

Unfortunately, we will not run the trip on May 25th. Let me know if you are interested in any of the other departures.

Do you have tour dates for 2026?

We now have one date announced in 2026: May 24th 2026. In the following months, we will probably add one more in September 2026. If the May date works for you, you can proceed with your reservation.

Is it possible to join the tour if one traveler is 89 years old? The tour website says up to 80 years old.

We highly doubt the tour is suitable for 89 years old traveller. There is a lot of off-road driving, some long days 8-9 hours on the road, which is exhausting. The travel pace is fast as we cover 3 regions of Angola within 8 days. If you really want to go there we can arrange a private tour for you on a selected date.

Angola is definitely an off the beaten track destination that does not disappoint. The itinerary was jam packed and Martha was an excellent guide. The tribes are incredible we were taken to many local markets to meet indigenous people from different groups as well as villages. Landscapes were breath taking and the waterfalls of course were one of the many highlights. I recommend this trip for people who like non touristed places and definitely think it’s a good time to go before it gets too discovered.Show more
