Preparing for the trip

In order to make sure that your trip is safe, you should get all necessary vaccinations beforehand. It is recommended to get vaccinated against yellow fever and malaria before going to Angola. There is also risk of getting infected with hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever, and diphtheria in this country; therefore, you should get vaccinations against these diseases as well.

Transportation and travel charges

You can get better acquainted with Angola by using three train routes or taking a bus, a minibus, or a taxi. Local public transport is very busy and vehicles are often overfilled; some of them are also outdated. As a consequence of a civil war, roads are in quite bad condition in Angola. However, this issue is slowly being fixed.

You can pay for all of your purchases using official local currency, kwanza (AOA). One kwanza amounts to 100 centimos. One kwanza is worth about 0.009 euro. Living costs in Angola are slightly higher than in Lithuania. For example, you can order a cup of cappuccino for about 430 kwanzas and have lunch in a cheap restaurant for 3 330 kwanzas and more. In local shops, a 1.5 litre water bottle will cost you 225 kwanzas; you can buy one kilogram of rice for about 420 kwanzas, and one kilogram of chicken breast for roughly 250 kwanzas. Public transport tickets cost about 330 kwanzas, and a one kilometre long taxi ride will cost you about 250 kwanzas.

Best return gifts choices?

Authentic souvenirs are a sure way to capture all the precious moments spent while visiting Angola. We recommend looking for Thinker statues (similar to the Pensive Christ ones), impressive paintings, and clothing items and accessories decorated using batik technique. Boxes made from wood and bone, as well as ceramic will also make amazing return gifts. Before leaving the country, make sure that all your purchased original souvenirs are certified. This can be done in many market places of the capital city or in the building next to the Metal palace.

Angola is proud of its magnificent mountains, red-sand-covered shores, plains, and useful mineral resources. Holiday in Angola is a real treat worth preparing for.
