Angola & Mozambique ANGOLA & MOZAMBIQUE Including a day trip to The Kingdom of Swaziland June 12 to June 25, 2022 Led by Professional Tour Manager David William Optional extension to Lesotho ( June 25 to 28, 2022) and Cabinda ( June 10 to 12, 2022) Located in southern Africa, Angola is the seventh largest country on the continent and one of the MOST EXPENSIVE countries in the world. It is bordered by Namibia to the south, the Congo in the north, Zambia to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The diverse ethnic communities such as the Mumuila and Mucubal, maintain their own cultural traits, traditions, and languages to varying degrees. In the cities, where slightly more than half of the population now lives, you will find a mixed culture that has been emerging since colonial times. In this urban society, since its foundation in the 16th century, the Portuguese heritage has become more and more dominant. However, African roots are evident in music and dance, and is molding the way in which Portuguese is spoken. This process is well reflected in con- temporary Angolan literature, especially in the works of Angolan authors. On this tour, you will explore a land that the modern world has yet to discover. As you make your way inland, the landscape becomes almost endless plains. From there, you will fly nonstop to another former colony of the Portuguese. With cities of colonial splendor, a golden coast scattered with balmy beaches, and cuisine packed with sizzle and spice, Mozambique is a magical part of Mother Africa. It is endowed with rich and ex- tensive natural resources. The country’s economy is based largely on agriculture, but its industry is growing mainly from the food and bev- erage industry, chemical manufacturing, and aluminum and petroleum production. The tourism sector is also expanding. The only official language of Mozambique is Portuguese, which is spoken mostly as a second language by about half of the population. Lesotho, officially the “Kingdom of Lesotho”, is an enclaved country within the border of South Africa. Known as the Kingdom in the Sky because of its lofty altitude - it has the highest lowest point of any country in the world (4,590 ft. ASL) and is the only country to be entirely above 3,200 feet ASL! Ihab Zaki Managing Director, Spiekermann Travel ical garden.

  • The Chronic Congestion in Luanda Is Dismissed by Some Experts
    68 BUSINESS 69 ANGOLA TOO FAST FOR COMFORT The chronic congestion in Luanda is dismissed by some experts as a “small inconvenience”, with more and more investors piling in for a piece of the action in this rapidly growing economy Cars fill the roads and parking lots as ships queue to enter FRANÇOIS MISSER IN LUANDA the port of Luanda n some days, the aircraft arriving in Luanda disgorge hundreds of Chinese workers, all wea- ring the uniforms and hats of the construction firms that have hired them to work on the many construction sites around Angola. OBut any impression that this apparent ‘invasion’ is evidence of China’s scramble to control Africa’s new oil Eldorado is dis- missed as “a major misconception” by Ary Carvalho, a board member of Angola’s Agência Nacional para o Investimento Privado (ANIP). “The investment you see is the Angolan government’s investment in its own country,” he says. “People forget this. It is a credit line, which Angola is paying for on very good terms, for the railways, roads, schools and hospitals.” Carvalho estimates that China’s credit lines to Angola total $4bn. Others put the figure at $6bn, if funds via the China International Fund are included, even if not all of this has been spent, as evidenced by the delay in construction of the Benguela railway between Lobito and Katanga in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Talk of asset-stripping is certainly misplaced and China’s direct share of Angola’s oil exploration permits is modest. In 2007, Sinopec had to withdraw from a bid to build a 240,000- barrel per day (b/d) refinery in Lobito because it could not reach agreement with state oil company Sonangol, which wan- ted a facility that would produce export-quality petrol and diesel for the European and US markets.

For those who did not get to enjoy this world tour the first time,PE&RS is reprinting prior articles from the column. This month’s article on the Republic of Angola was originally printed in 2001 but contains updates to their coordinate system since then. he original peoples of what is now Angola were probably Khoisan speaking hunters and gatherers (bushmen). During the first millennium AD, large- Tscale migrations of Bantu speaking people moved into the area and eventually became the dominant ethno-linguistic group of southern Africa. The most important Bantu kingdom in Angola was the Kongo, with its capital at Mbanza Kongo (called São Salvador do Congo by the Portuguese). South of the Kongo was the Ndongo kingdom of the Mbundu people. Angola got its name from the title for its king, the ngola. In 1483, Portuguese explorers reached Angola, Christianized the ruling family, and engaged in trade and missionary work. By the early 17th century, some 5,000+ slaves were being exported from Luanda annually. Angola received its independence from Portugal in 1975, but has been plagued of protests in Europe, and Portugal proposed a conference by civil war and insurrections since independence.
