Angola

Angola has no Starbucks or McDonald’s, and there’s only one functioning escalator in the whole country. It’s no destination for beginners: only seven years have passed since the country emerged from three decades of armed struggle and there are few tourist facilities. But for the adventurous, Angola offers over hundreds of miles of unspoilt beaches, excellent fishing, surfing, tropical forests and magnificent bird life. Bradt’s Angola covers Luanda, the capital city, the country’s 18 provinces, and the best of the beaches and rainforests. The first-ever English-language guidebook to the country, it’s essential reading for business travelers and pioneering adventurers alike.
