Brief Tour of Luanda Highlights and Angola’s Turbulent Legacy
The ship stayed four hours in Luanda, visiting Fortaleza, the Anthropology Museum, and the Church of Our Lady of Remedies. Angola’s history spans Portuguese rule from 1576, a brutal slave trade, a long civil war until 2002, and ongoing poverty and corruption with health and education challenges. The nation remains oil rich with diamonds and minerals, while UNICEF and CARE work to help. After Angola, the voyage continued to Gabon.
