Budget & Tips

The beaches of Cabo Ledo, Lobito and Benguela, among other pleasant spots, invite you to put down your towel and enjoy the warm sea temperatures, especially in the rainy season. Cabo Ledo beach is a well-known weekend spot for surfers.

Main events

Climbers and tightrope walkers from all over the world come together in June for the Climb Angola Festival, celebrated in the vertiginous Serra da Leba.

Kizomba fans won't want to miss the Angola Kizomba Festival, held in October in the Angolan capital. On the program: dancing, singing, activities, encounters of all kinds and local specialities.
