€3,730 per person / minimum 6 pax | 11 Days | Ethnographic & Scenic Expedition


Meet Angola’s Last Living Traditions

Step off the beaten path and into living history on this extraordinary 11-day journey through Angola’s most remote and culturally rich regions. From Luanda’s colonial landmarks to the Muila tribes of the south, from Hakaona healers to ancient cave art, this tour is your invitation to witness traditions unchanged for centuries.

You’ll sleep under the stars in wild landscapes, visit tribal markets, share smiles with decorated matriarchs, and admire hairstyles and adornments unlike anywhere else in the world. This is ethnography in motion — intimate, respectful, and soul-expanding.
