Angola Travel Guide

Went here on a Friday lunchtime and tried the Sushi. I have to say it was superb, fresh fish and well prepared. We even had Salmon Roses on the platter we ordered.

If you travel by road, from Benguela to Lubango, the road is very nice, 70% new, with some dark points ( holes, mud, etc.). The danger is that you have long tracks with good asphalt and you may become sleepy, an animal my jump to the road and there might be a bridge that is shorter than the road...At night always think that what looks like a...
