Luanda Hotels

The capital of Angola, Luanda lies on the west of the African continent, on the Atlantic coast. After a troubled history, the city is rapidly developing. The Old City is the name for the area around the port, whilst the New City is set apart by its community developments. To get into the party spirit, look for Luanda hotels near the Ilha do Cabo, the peninsula that juts out from the centre.

Choosing a Luanda hotel

The areas of the city can vary wildly, so if you are unsure about booking a hotel in Luanda it might be a good idea to wait until you've arrived on your cheap flight to Luanda to decide. Some prior research into where the best cheap hotels in Luanda are roughly located is good, and use cheap Luanda carhire to help you get around, and you should find something suitable. You could also try finding a hotel in Luanda Sul, which is slightly away from the city, if you're after a beachfront location.

When to visit Luanda

The weather in Luanda is much more temperate than is the norm for the area, as the cooling sea currents lower the humidity drastically. March and April are the rainy season, so avoid visiting during this time if you're thinking of soaking up the sun. There is not very much difference in temperature throughout the year, but August is the coolest month, and January the warmest. Whenever you visit, you'll still be happy to spend plenty of time outdoors, and you must visit the Parque Nacional Da Kissama, south of the city if you can. Here you'll find all sorts of game from antelopes to giraffes and ostriches.
