Angola travel advice

Travellers are advised against all but essential travel to North and South Lunda Provinces, where visitors may be subject to movement restrictions or detention, and the interior of Cabinda Province, where there continue to be reports of violent incidents.

All visitors to Angola, and particularly those going beyond Luanda, are advised to travel under the auspices of a sponsoring organisation.

Leisure travel in Angola is not recommended.

The main risk to visitors to Luanda is from the high level of crime.

Travellers should register with their embassy on arrival, and de-register on departure.

Travellers should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
