How about a trip to Angola
A Brief Summary
A near-desert climate in the south with the cold Benguela current has produced almost unique geographical region here, shared only with its southern neighbour Namibia and parts of South America. The cold south Atlantic waters prevent almost all moisture forming here, meaning the land is dominated by large sand dunes and other sandstone and rocky terrain. Vegetation is very limited, and the area is almost entirely dominated by national parks. Few large settlements are found in the north of the country, with the exception of Angola’s capital city, Luanda, with other towns smaller and concentrated mainly on the coastal strip. The coastal road is flat, long and reasonably paved and connects the majority of the population along this flat landscape. Beaches here are plentiful and stretch for miles, but with little, if any amenities found on the vast majority of them. Areas such as the Miradouro da Lua show some of the diverse landscapes which can be found here

About the Weather
Hot and very humid throughout the year, this coastal region of Angola doesn’t see a great deal of rain, especially from May to October due to the cold Benguela current suppressing the climates ability to evaporate moisture. However, this same cold current often produces thick fog in the early hours which in the southern hemisphere winter months (Jul – Sep) can be slow to clear. Sunshine levels are higher throughout the rest of the year, but never exceptionally so.
