When to Go

Peak season, north Angola: May to October

The rainy season in Angola’s more tropical north can ruin a vacation. Rainfall is heavy, temperatures are hot and humidity can be unbearable. Skip November to April. Advance booking at the best hotels is key during the peak season.

Peak season, south Angola: July to September

The more arid south gets less rain than the north, but spotty rain is common March to July and October to November. Temperatures are cooler during peak season.

Rainy season: April

Not only is this the rainiest month of the year, it’s also the time when violent storms roll across the country.
