Travel Guide Cabinda

If it is a destination whose name is constantly returning to the airport in Luanda, it is Cabinda for which several companies display daily flights and rotations from the capital. Passengers flying aircraft serving this Angolan exclave in the sparkling economy are divided into two categories: oil people (off shore), mostly men, and trade people, mostly women. This province of Cabinda (the smallest of the Angolan provinces) and its extraordinary tropical forest Maiombe, situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the two Congo, is marked in "red" on the site of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development or as a "zone formally discouraged"! Only the provincial capital of the same name is reported in "orange", "discouraged zone unless imperative", as is the rest of the country. It is, moreover, this evaluation published on the website www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs/conseils-par-pays/angola-12198/ at the end of April 2014, which continues to prevail throughout the country.The tumultuous and often bloody history of Angola is still occupied by Cabinda since the 1950 th century, appalled at the beginning of the 1960 s, increasingly coveted by the large oil groups in the s, protected by the militias, exploited in the interest of oligarchies, carried out, armed by others, eager for independence, but still agitated in spite of oil but still agitated despite the pétrole of oil. a peace agreement signed in 2006 but rejected by the exiled separatists. The attack on the Togolese football team on the eve of the 2010 African Cup of Nations sadly proved this. The French mercenary Bob, was also involved in the history of Cabinda, particularly in 1976…In 2014, a strong military presence remained in that province by the Angolan Government and particularly in its capital.Cabinda houses the National Park of Maiombe (or Mayombe), which was elected in May 2014 as one of Angola's seven natural wonders.
