 Miradouro de Lua

Miradouro de Lua is located about 40 km from the city of Luanda on the road heading to south kwanza sul and Benguela provinces, it is one of the top rated tourist attractions in Angola. The “Miradouro da Lua” or the Moon Valley Viewpoint when translated to english is an amazing roadside near Luanda, Angola, somewhat similar to the moon surface. The shape of this amazing piece of Earth’s wonder is a result of erosion caused by wind and rain which, over time, have created these cliffs overlooking the sea.

 Luanda

Luanda is the capital of Angola. Located on Angola's coast facing the Atlantic Ocean. Luanda was founded in 1575 under the name São Paulo de Loanda by a hundred families of settlers and four hundred soldiers. Luanda grew with the extensive shipping trade with Brazil it is in this city’s port where nearly all slaves bound for Brazil left. Today Luanda's skyline is dotted with cranes, erecting numerous social housing highrises to replace slums and existing, but grossly dilapidated, 40-plus year old highrises as well as offices for numerous foreign companies operating in Angola. While in Luanda do not forget to visit historical sites, museums and art galleries such as Fortaleza de São Miguel, Augostinho Neto Mausoleum, National Museum of Slavery, National Museum of Anthropology and Humbi-Humbi Art Gallery among other top sites.

Kissama National Park

Kissama National Park is approximately 70 km from Luanda, the Angolan capital, Parque Nacional da Kissama or Quiçama National Park, also known as Kissama National Park, is located in northwestern Angola. What is now Quiçama National Park was formed as a game reserve in 1938. It was proclaimed a national park by the Portuguese administration of the Overseas Province of Angola in January 1957. The park once was home to an abundance of large game animals such as elephants and Giant Sable, but after wide-scale poaching during 25 years of civil war, the animal population was virtually eliminated. In 2001, the Kissama Foundation, a group of Angolans and South Africans, initiated 'Operation Noah's Ark' to transport animals, especially elephants, from neighbouring Botswana and South Africa. These animals, who were from overpopulated parks in their home countries, adapted well to the move. Noah's Ark was the largest animal transplant of its kind in history and has given the park momentum to be restored to its natural state.

Huambo

Huambo, formerly Nova Lisboa is a city in the Central Angola Highlands with a population of 225,268. Huambo receives its name from Wambu, one of the 14 old Ovimbundu kingdoms of the central Angolan plateau.  It was one of the main economic engines of Portuguese Angola In 1928 Huambo was renamed Nova Lisboa indicating that the colonial administration intended making of it at some point the capital of the colony. Until the independence of Angola in 1975, the city of Nova Lisboa expanded and its economic growth and development boomed, making it one of the most important urban centres in the then Portuguese Overseas Province of Angola.

Benguela–Lobito Railway

The Portuguese government initiated the construction of the  Benguela–Lobito Railway in 1889. The line proved very successful and profitable, especially in the early 1970. The Benguela railway has a length of 1,344 kilometres (835 mi) in Angola and provides access to the inner part of the country, but achieved its greatest success through linking to the Copperbelts of Katanga province, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zambia. In October 1992 due to the armed conflict in Angola, Caminhos-de-Ferro de Benguela (CFB) quit running the Benguela/Huambo route. CFB resumed service linking Huambo with Benguela on 29 August 2011.
