Angola, Nation in south-central Africa
Angola extends across 1,246,700 square kilometers of territory between the Atlantic Ocean and neighboring nations Namibia, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zambia.
Portuguese navigators reached the Angolan coast in 1483, establishing settlements and initiating a colonial period that lasted until independence in 1975.
The nation maintains numerous indigenous languages including Kimbundu, Umbundu, and Kikongo, while Portuguese serves as the primary method of communication.
The capital Luanda contains the Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport, which handles regular flights to destinations across Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
The Kissama National Park near Luanda preserves 12,000 square kilometers of natural habitats where elephants and water buffalo roam through grass savannas.
