- Angola ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on Angola's official migration service (SME) portal before booking; visa-free and e-visa rules have changed in recent years.
- Angola ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and check the yellow fever vaccination certificate requirement for entry, which is strictly checked for many travellers.
- Angola ↗Do not photograph government buildings, the presidential palace area, military sites, police or the airport.
- Luanda area ↗Move between towns and clusters in daylight, in a hotel-arranged car; do not self-drive outside the city without local advice.
- Luanda ↗Move between clusters only in hotel-arranged cars, and be back at the hotel before dusk: street robbery is a real risk.
- Luanda ↗Foreign cards work at some large hotels only; carry kwanza and a backup in US dollars or euros, and change at banks or licensed offices.
