Note
Please note: Angola is a very-low-income country with very basic infrastructure, and vastly different to the western culture mentality. Local conditions may be challenging; therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Coaches, guides, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. An extensive amount of driving for 180 minutes, a minimal amount of easy walking over short distances, at times over uneven, unpaved surfaces, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach, the market and the slavery museum. Guests can return to the coach early as needed. Local infrastructure is basic, and local road conditions are unpredictable and may be challenging. Lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes, sun protection and insect repellant is recommended. Anticipate high temperatures and humidity and we recommend staying hydrated by bringing your water bottle. Guests are informed that tips to local guides and drivers are at the guest’s discretion.
