Angola’s oil and diamonds are attracting much needed foreign investment to what is one of the world’s poorest countries. Although the civil war ended in 2002, anyone visiting here needs to have comprehensive Angola insurance in place due to the threats presented by ongoing separatist conflicts, crime, and disease.

Separatist groups, most notably in Cabinda province, continue to clash violently with security forces and to carry out terrorist attacks. These groups are targeting western interests, and foreigners have been victim to rape, murder and kidnapping. Landmines and other unexploded ordnance remain a danger in large areas across the country.

British FCO advice is to be vigilant at all times and not to venture outside the capital Luanda and other cities without adequate security provision and trusted local guides. In Luanda there is a high incidence of crime, including mugging and carjacking, particularly involving foreign nationals. Poverty is widespread and with it disease, including cholera, malaria, Hepatitis A and B and HIV/AIDS. Healthcare is extremely poor overall and international medical cover with emergency evacuation insurance in Angola is essential.

Due to safety issues most Angolan airlines are banned from operating services to the EU. Be aware before you travel that using these airlines may not be covered by standard insurance.
