Mindful meoweler tips

Language Barrier Ahead

Most locals speak Portuguese, so brush up on a few basic phrases or bring a translation app. Some also speak English, especially in tourist areas.

Hot Weather Warning

Luanda has a hot and humid tropical climate, with temperatures averaging around 80-90°F year-round. Pack light, breathable clothing and drink plenty of water.

Money Matters

The official currency is the Angolan kwanza, but US dollars are widely accepted. Credit cards are only accepted in some hotels and restaurants. ATMs can be unreliable, so bring enough cash.
