The best video about Luanda, Angola I have ever watched.
Very informative, very refreshing
Travel connect is the best!!!!!
Thanks!
Thank you for your vlog.
I lived in Angola for 5 years till March 2024.
The locations you mentioned are nice example Musulu island and Ilha in Angola city.
The kisama national park is popular with locals and tourist.
People are friendly and respectful .
Hope Angola will prosper and grow.
I express my respect and love to Angola.👍👍👍🙏🙂❤️🇱🇰
I'll have to visit the Kisama National Park next time. Thanks for watching
I was in Luanda when i was 8... long time ago... have such a beautyful and sweet memory of Luanda, and Angola. I remember so well ilha do Cabo... so good old days, 74, before civil war... we didn't know but those years we were in paradise. CHEERS
Thanks for sharing
I live in this city since my 3 years old, now I am 44 and this guy have been in places that I never been... hehehehe. You forgot to tell that tourists may also find big fat asses waiting for them. The girls here are nasty hehehehe but also very gorgeous.
Angola has a lot of resources and therefore so much potential!
Hopefully one day all of its wonderful people get better life conditions as they well deserve.
Amamos nossos irmãos angolanos e desejamos alegria e prosperidade nas suas vidas!
Deus vos abençoe sempre!!!
🇵🇹 + 🇦🇴 = ❤
🙏🏿
Obrigado por sua palavras.
Vivi muitos anos em Portugal e só posso dizer coisas boas.
Viva Angola minha terra e Portugal minha segunda casa
Yes.. one day American "democracy" will arrive in the form of conflict or war.. and then it will own the resources..
Thanks for the words. Que Deus abençoe Portugal também é todos os países de língua portuguesa.
Thanks a million mate. Years ago, I promised to visit as many countries in Africa as possible and you just added Angola to my bucket list.
You're welcome
Excellent content. Very well-rounded tour. Thank you for making it.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
Great video. Thanks. I will visit one day I hope.
From Europe with love❤
Thanks
Luanda is definitely a beautiful city from what I can see. Before the colonial masters, my ancestors shared the land that is now Angola & Zambia & the city will be on my bucket list.
In this video, you're only seeing the touristy areas. The whole city doesn't look like this.
This was a very informative video man. I would definitely check out the country after hearing many good things about it
Thanks for watching 🙏🏿
Wow, i am so surprised of the quality of your videos. Keep the good work up bro 🙌
Thanks
Lovely to see African-americans starting to discover Africa
Africa is quickly growing economically and can surprise many 👍
Yes. Lots of potential
That african country is great for outsiders, but not great for the citizens. You can forget your human rights if you are born in Angola.
@@germanopassion Really, don't know much about this...
Looked something up and apparently Angola does have an oversized military so possibly the local regime is not that friendly as many African countries mostly use the military for "internal affairs"
This is dope!! Ima have to check out more of your Africa vids.
Thanks fam. Make sure you’re subscribed. Much more to come.
Thanx for sharing. Ive been interested in this country and glad to see it.
You're welcome
Great info my brotha, you gained a new subscriber!!!!

Barely
Great video!
Thanks
One of the Best RUclipsrs out in my Opinion, Informative and Entertaining and Always Right on Time 💯
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate that 🙏🏿
Looks beautiful. I am from Namibia, and have been to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia many times, but not yet to Angola.
You should go. I enjoyed my time there.
Welcome!
Angola is one of my dream African countries and after this video I may book(still have to see your Mozambique vid) that trip next year. Very good video.
Great place to hang out and relax
Check out this vid of “Lourenço Marques 1970” Maputo was built to rival Miami and Barcelona.
Nicely done !
Thanks
Another great video…thanks!

🙏🏿

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
Great video Bruh, S/o from 🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦
Thanks
So nice! Happy to see real pictures, look really good :-)
Beautiful beach area
Looks great! Adding this spot in the motherland to my list!
I had a blast!
I worked in Angola for a few years, man I miss the vibe and like you said the people are super friendly. The Nova Vida area is also pretty cool. Traffic can be a bit of a mission though. Also take some cash and ask at the shop in the airport as you exit if they can help you exchange it 😉
Thanks for the tips!
Great video
Thanks
Thank you for visiting: just to clarify, u can actually withdraw 100k kwanzas a day, when u go to the ATM, withdraw 40k twice and 20k once..
Thanks for the insight Ricky.
a very respecful and humble youtuber. Keep the good work
Thanks
Looks pretty developed and clean city. I’ve never visited Africa, but might put Angola on my list. Just subscribed to your channel
What you just watched is the touristy area of town. The rest of the city isn't as developed.
Isso é relativo e. Qualquer parte no mundo sobre desenvolvimento.
Great content brotha
Thanks fam!
I am from Angola/Luanda Thank you for your vlog.
You're welcome
what a beautiful country! Greetings from Colombia 👍
Thanks
Loved the thumbnail, got much points for my next video
🫡
Angola is underated and is not popular to RUclipsrs.
I love visiting Angola 🔥
Good and I've noticed that, let's hope that it stays that way. Most of these youtubers just usually end up screwing up everywhere they go
@@curtflirt2 🤣🤣🤣 we need professional RUclipsrs like this one
The language Portugese Language not that known
Yes, all non-english speaking countries are under-rated, Angola being one of them. Also our brothers here in North America about 27 million of them have roots from this region. Remember the first slaves landing in america departed from this country most likely from those shores.
Really enjoyed your content, Angola looks to be a great holiday destination for tourists who want a different experience 😊
Yes. It's very different. Not many tourist attractions, but cool if you're adventurous.
Nice presentation
Thanks
Wow! Beautiful place and girls as well!!
Thanks for watching
Interesting information
I hope that's a good thing 😅
After watching this video I noticed that Angola and Brazil are identical countries, even the people are very similar, they are sister countries
Great video
Many similarities. Thanks
Yes ..
They are similar in terms of corruption
Another great video
Thanks fam
@travelconnect the music genre you're describing can either be *Kizomba or Baile Funk* (Also known as Funk Carioca or Favela Funk)
Just left Kenya after watching 1 of your vids, amazing. Definitely looking to tour more of Africa and you've been a great help towards this my guy 🙌🏾
Thanks! I really appreciate that 🙏🏿
Very nice place 👏🏻 thanks for the video
Thanks for watching
Thanks for visiting my countrie.
My pleasure
The music and dance is called Kizomba. It's like Zouk and Kompa music and dance in the French-Creole speaking carribbean islands. Angola 🇦🇴 is underrated and developed. Ppl make excuses not to go to Angola bc of language barrier but go to Brazil. But the women in the video standout and are beautiful. You the only brother from USA 🇺🇸 highlighting Angola that I have seen. It's overlooked. You've encouraged me to visit
Thanks. I appreciate that. I know Kizomba. That wasn't the genre I was referring to. It was closer to hip hop. But yes, Angola is definitely underrated.
The style of music is called kuduro and originates from Angola 🇦🇴🥰♥️
Look up the tucker family in Virginia USA. They are direct descendants of the soliders taken from kingdom of Ndongo to Virginia USA in August 1619, they have been trying to get more of the local young men in Virginia (other descendants of the soliders) to visit Angola.
President Obama marked the arrival of Mbundu tribe to Virginia as a national landmark
@@travelconnect1 Look up Dj Taba Mix - De 4
@@beforethenextstep305that's myth or should i say lies they was send to brazil bolivia argentina colombia central america too along with congo sao tome mozambique gabon they are ndongo and mbundas descendants...
You've convinced me to visit Angola ... great vid
Thanks. It's definitely a good time
Come visit us Angola and it’s a very beautiful country and a little welcoming 🥰
I've been it's cool but there is ZERO tourism industry. You either need to know somebody OR speak portuguese very little english is spoken similar to Mozambique
I didn't know anyone, nor do I speak Portuguese. But I understand what you're saying in a way. It's definitely a great place for actual "travelers" rather than "tourist."
The most underrated RUclips channel let’s get this man subs up.
I appreciate this. Salute 🫡
No problem Bro
As an Angolan, I just have to thank you for this video. Showing the beauties that luanda has :)
My pleasure 🙏🏿
Cool this landscape of Luanda
Thanks for watching
10:57 officialy makes me want to go there iykyk
😎
Nice video. I want to visit Africa and this looks like a good option
Thanks
So nice to see Angola doing well. Spent a lot of time there in the mid 80s. It was beautiful back then but was a rough time for the people. Looks like they have come a long way. Congratulations
It's still a rough time, but the touristy areas are picking up big time.
Welcome to my home country! Subscribed, 👍 like done. Thank you for visiting my home. Right now I'm in Namibia 🇳🇦 for study. 🙏🏾🇦🇴
Thanks. My Namibia video should be ready in about 9 days. Stay tuned. 💪🏿
Will be waiting. I just started posting some shorts too. Hope by the time you visit Angola again my channel is grown so that we would explore Angola together. Much love brother. 🙏🏾🇦🇴
As an angolan living abroad, i want to thank you for being very honest and respectful in sharing your experiences in Luanda, we angolans are very friendly and humble people. Next time you should visit Malange, there is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world called 'Quedas de Kalandula' , you won't be disappointed.
Thanks! I'll look that place up and try to visit.
Thanks for sharing the Africa that they don’t show us 🤌🏾👏👏good job 🎉❤Africa is real blessed 😇 much love from Rwanda 🇷🇼
Thanks Evelyn
The people are so beautiful 😎
💯
Beautiful beaches
Decent infrastructures.
Good country
🇦🇴👌🇦🇴
I can only imagine. Closest I was was in Namibia. Nice part of the world
💯
Muito obrigado pela visita, volte sempre ao meu país. Próxima vez não fique apenas em Luanda, vá ao Lubango , Benguela ou Huambo que irá se surpreender pela positiva 👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks for the recommendations!
obrigado por visitar o meu pais... na próxima visita a cidade do lobito, Benguela ou a cidade do Lubango
Thank you! 🙏🏿
I live in Angola 🇦🇴 and I don't find it so exciting to visit as a tourist everything is ridiculously expensive for no reason but the locals enjoy their country a lot and I like that😊
It's definitely not as expensive as it used to be (for those visiting with the dollar). Outside of hotels, everything was pretty inexpensive actually.
I'm going next year 🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥
Who knew, booking my trip because of this video.
🔥🔥🔥
Scott, American credit and debit cards still don't work! Damn it!
Quick tip - the best ATMs to go to are at the Epic Sana Hotel and the Fortaleza Mall. Both of these places usually always have cash, as ATMs for most of the banks on the street run out early.
Thanks for the tip!!!
There are some ATM that have the Visa logo or Mastercard logo on it, but few ones. There are also some supermarkets that the cashiers accept this type of cards. It depends on the place that you are going to spend money.
I’m Haitian living in West Africa and I will put Luanda in my list for sure.
Good Times!
Man this is on top I got alot to learn here for my videos.
Thanks for watching
@@travelconnect1 Welcome man
I love Angola 🇦🇴 I’m from Eritrea 🇪🇷 ❤
Good times!
I have lived in both Eritrea- ‘92-‘94 and Angola- ‘95-99. Both fabulous countries with great people but messed up by politics. C'est Afrique!
@@keithgubbin2354 where r u From?
England- born in Sussex, live in London
@@keithgubbin2354 where is it the sussex
Looks better, cleaner and safer than Brazil IMHO.
They both have their positives and negatives....but both are great.
Yeah, you obviously know nothing about Brazil. You've better stick to Angola indeed.
Been to both. I never saw humans taking a dump on the beach in Brazil. Luanda….🤦🏼♂️
I love Brazil but for sure it's safer than Brazil . Africa is safer than LATAM in general bc no cartel or gangs at all
@@kevinh7597 Nah man, you don't know Brazil, you might know a city or two. There are over 5500 cities in 27 different states. Most of the violence takes place in a handful of cities, and even within those cities, in some areas. I'm 34, never been robbed, or actually witnessed that kind of violence that ppl talk about on the media, I have family across 4 states and multiple cities, same goes for their cities. But since for foreigners Brazil consists only of Rio and São Paulo, then you might be right.
Good beach 🏖️ spots and restaurants
For sure 💯
It looks like a nice and clean city.... I hope to visit it someday in the near future!
They take good care of their touristy areas.
@@travelconnect1 thank you 🙌
I love your show man. It’s educational , entertaining and Pan African. We are tired of condescending Western perspectives.
Thanks! 🙏🏿
But the vast majority live in absolute poverty
I am due out there next week for work.. don't know how much I'll get to see of the city tbh.
Enjoy
The beaches in Angola are indeed very beautiful! Unfortunately because the government has not developed hotels in the southern and central part of the country where the most beautiful beaches are located, it very difficult for tourist to learn about them.
Hopefully i'll get to see them during my next visit.
this country seems very beautiful to me, where life is good 👍
Good times
There are a couple of types of music played in Angola. The most common one is Kizomba; it’s a slow genre, almost like rumba in style but completely different. Artists often mix some hip hop into Kizomba. Kizomba is also often danced with a partner. Then there’s Kuduru, which is a kind of fast-paced dance music. There’s a similar kind of music in the northwest, in Côte d’Ivoire. Lastly, there’s Angolan hip hop and R&B, which is just normal Western-style music, except the lyrics are in Portuguese.
Thanks for explaining. I definitely enjoyed it
The style of music is called kuduro and originates from Angola 🇦🇴🥰♥️
Thanks!!!!
The music is either Kizomba or Semba
I know those 2 genres, and those weren't it.
@@travelconnect1it’s probably Kuduro
yes and also house music
@da_Costa_666 Thanks
Nice video and cover, bravo!!!!!!....
Thanks
Nice review of Luanda. If you keep this up with different countries and places... and the entire Africa will subscribe. New sub 4 sure. 👏👏
Thanks 🙏🏿
Hi there, im from Angola, you were probably listening to either "AfroHouse" or "Kuduro", or a mix that from these 2 called "Adoço"
Thanks!
Nice work, I never knew that country even existed
Thanks
Obrigado
Da nada
It’s called KUDURO. I mean the dance style. 😊
Thanks!
What percentage of people would you say that you encountered that spoke English? 1st time watcher. Subbed as well. Different vibe from most travel creators I see. This was very respectful and informative. Side note. There seems to be no shortage of beautiful women there.
Probably 5% of the people I met spoke English.
Thanks for the sub, and welcome to the community.
Damn it looks good
Facts
You can use the ATM and draw money. The maximu is 40.000 AOA at one draw at each time, so it means that you can draw as much as tou card limit. If u card has a limi for 120.000 you have to draw 3 times 40.000.
👍🏿
looks a lovely place ,didn't see that many tourists though
Just about all the tourists I met were from Portugal, which makes sense as this is a Portuguese speaking country.
Is an expensive country
