Researching and understanding local customs is essential when travelling to a new destination. Here’s a list of essential information for your trip to Angola:
Angola experiences a tropical climate, which varies between the coastal and inland regions. The coast, including Luanda, is typically hot and humid with a rainy season (September to April) and a dry, cooler season known as the Cacimbo (May to August). Inland, the climate is generally drier and cooler, particularly at higher altitudes like Huambo. Business travellers should pack lightweight, breathable clothing and be prepared for higher humidity near the coast.
The official currency is the Angolan Kwanza (AOA). While major hotels in Luanda may accept US Dollars (USD) for payment, it is legally required to use Kwanza for most transactions. You should carry a mix of cash and ensure you can exchange currency, as card payments are not as widely accepted as in the UK, often limited to major hotels and high-end restaurants in the capital. Tipping in restaurants is appreciated but not strictly mandatory; a small amount or rounding up the bill is common for good service.
Portuguese is the official language and is used for government, business, and education. While there are many indigenous African languages spoken across the country, English is not widely spoken outside of major international businesses and high-end hotels in Luanda. Learning a few basic Portuguese phrases can be beneficial for day-to-day interactions.
Angola operates on West Africa Time (WAT), which is GMT+1. There is no daylight saving time observed.
