Angola is the seventh-largest country in Africa. Sixteen hundred kilometres of Atlantic coast, the Mayombe rainforest in the north, the central plateau, and the Namib desert in the south. Few countries pack so many ecosystems into one passport.
It is also a young country and an ancient one. Independent since 1975, at peace since 2002, rebuilding fast. Roads are returning, parks are returning, wildlife is returning. Travel here is more straightforward than at any time in living memory.
