How about a trip to Angola Southwest Coast

Angola Southwest Coast Dec

SummaryA 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

WeatherAbout the Weather

Very dry, very warm by day and bright, but with considerably less sunshine than one might expect from such a dry location. The cold Benguela current leads to extensive fog in the early hours which can linger all day in Jul and Aug. Rain is rare and while temperatures are usually only warm to very warm, occasional inland winds can raise them to above 40°c for a day or so at a time.
