There are two seasons: a dry, cool season from June to late September, and a rainy, hot season from October to April or May. The average temperature is in the high-60’s. The weather is warmer along the coast and cooler on the central plateau.

Angola has a very distinct climate. The best time to visit Angola is during the winter months from May to October. Dry season occurs throughout May to October, and the hot rainy season which is November to April.

This region of Africa can be dangerous. It is important to be aware of the potential dangers in the area.

Several epidemics have plagued the region of Angola. Yellow fever outbreaks are known to occur. Vaccination is required for entry to avoid the virus’s spread.

Outside of Luanda, this park is a wildlife sanctuary with stunning natural environments. The park began as a preserve in 1938 and evolved into a National Park in 1957.

Following the civil war, the Parque Nacional de Kissama is the only functioning national park in Angola. The park’s population of buffalo, elephants and sea turtles is currently thriving. The park also received 10 elephants by air from Russia in 2000.

Like many African nations, Angola requires a bit of extra prep work. Make sure you have everything you need before your trip.

  • Insect Repellent – Angola is known for its mosquitoes population. Insect repellent could prove to be a lifesaver while traveling throughout the country. The repellent will likely be used a lot, so try purchasing a cream or mild-spray.
  • Electrical Adapters – Electrical outlet standards vary by country. Make sure you bring the right connectors for Angolan outlets.
  • Modest Attire – While not required for many places, be sure to bring some modest attire for visits to sacred areas.

No matter where you are traveling, be aware of the location of the U.S. Embassy. Should you ever need help or find yourself in danger, embassies or consulates can provide aid.
