About Angola

Angola stretches along Africa's southwestern Atlantic coast, rising from beaches to a vast interior plateau crossed by rivers such as the Cuanza, which lends its name to the national currency. The capital, Luanda, is one of the largest Portuguese-speaking cities in the world, a legacy of centuries of colonial ties to Lisbon. Diamonds, oil, waterfalls, and rare wildlife define this vast African nation.

  • Angola's Cabinda province is an exclave, separated from the rest of the country by a strip of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
  • Angola takes its name from ngola, the royal title borne by kings of the historic Ndongo kingdom.
  • The giant sable antelope, an emblem of Angola found nowhere else on Earth, was feared extinct until rediscovered after the country's civil war.
