ANGOLA

Angola is a country located in southern Africa, with its capital city being Luanda. It boasts a diverse population of approximately 32 million people, with over 90 ethnic groups living together. A Portuguese influence combined with African culture gives Angola a Brazilian style atmosphere. The country’s stunning beauty consists of a variety of landscapes – from the arid desert and Cabinda exclave in the north to the semi-desert Atlantic coast, to the sparsely populated rainforest to its rugged highlands in the center. Angola's economy is greatly reliant on its rich oil and diamond reserves, yet it remains one of the poorest nations in the world. Despite being ravaged by a 27-year-long civil war that only ended in 2002, Angola has made significant strides in infrastructure development, with new airports, roads, and bridges being built. Angola is also known for its wildlife, offering opportunities for tourists to witness rare animals like the giant sable antelope. Angola is a must-see mysterious African country that is admired only by the most intrepid of travelers.
