Angola travel guide for Britons

Passport must be valid for at least six months. No visa is needed for stays up to 30 days; longer visits require an e‑visa applied online before travel. A yellow‑fever vaccination certificate is checked on arrival.

The UK does not have a resident embassy in Angola. British nationals should contact the British High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa ([email protected]) for consular assistance. In emergencies, call the local emergency numbers listed below.

Average daily budget for mid‑range travel: £45–£70 (accommodation, meals, transport). A 10‑day itinerary including flights, accommodation and meals is roughly £800–£1,200, depending on airline and hotel class.

Direct flights from London to Luanda take about 7 hours 30 minutes. Angola is in West Africa Time (UTC+1) year‑round, one hour ahead of UK time in winter and the same in summer.

Angola uses Type C and Type F plugs, 220 V at 50 Hz. Bring a universal adapter and, if your devices are not dual‑voltage, a voltage converter.

Restaurants: round up the bill or leave about 10 % for good service. Drivers and guides: round up the fare or add a small amount (≈£1‑£2).

Police: 113, Ambulance: 112, Fire: 115. For British consular assistance, use the High Commission in Pretoria.
