Includes driver, fuel and timing coordinated with both of your flights. We recommend a layover of 10 hours or more: the airport is about 40 km from the city. Prices are for passengers without checked luggage; if you need to carry bags on the tour, ask for a quote.

Doing the maths on your hours

You need 10 hours. We tell you if you don't have them.

International flights now land at Agostinho Neto airport (NBJ), roughly 40 km from the city. That changed the arithmetic of a layover: between immigration, the two drives and check-in for your onward flight, close to five hours come off your total. With an 8-hour layover it is no longer worth leaving — and we would rather tell you that before you pay us.

We monitor both the arriving and the departing flight. If the inbound runs late we shorten the itinerary, never the margin. The plane will not wait — we adjust.

The itinerary

The best of Luanda between two flights

Luanda from above and Luanda at street level: this is the route we take with you while you wait for your flight. You walk out of the terminal, get in the car, and the city is yours for the day.

No taxi to haggle over on the kerb, no app to depend on, your luggage locked in the car and someone else counting the hours for you.

Do I need a visa to leave the airport?
Citizens of 98 countries — the US, Brazil and Portugal among them — are visa-exempt for tourism in Angola, up to 30 days per entry. You need a passport valid for another six months and a yellow fever certificate. Tell us your nationality when booking and we confirm it before anything is agreed.
How many hours of layover do I need?
We recommend 10 hours or more between landing and take-off. The new airport, Agostinho Neto (NBJ), is about 40 km from the city: between immigration, the two drives and check-in for your onward flight, an 8-hour layover leaves very little usable time. Under 10 hours we will tell you honestly that leaving is not worth it.
Which airport do international flights use?
Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport (NBJ), about 40 km south-east of Luanda. Scheduled passenger operations have moved out of the old Quatro de Fevereiro airport.
What about my checked baggage?
It depends on whether your ticket is through-checked to your final destination or you have to collect your bags. Confirm it with us when booking: if you do collect them, they travel locked in the vehicle with you.
What if my flight is delayed?
We monitor both your arriving and departing flights. The itinerary adjusts to your real available time, with a safety margin for boarding.
Where does my luggage stay during the tour?
Safe in the vehicle, always with the driver. You move around the city hands-free.
Can I pay in dollars or by card?
We accept payment in USD and in kwanzas. Available payment methods are confirmed when you book via WhatsApp.
