Angola presents an intriguing option for some Cape Verdeans, offering a blend of rich history and vibrant culture. While it currently ranks low in global tourism, its diverse attractions and improving infrastructure make it an appealing destination for a segment of the population.
Angola's safety for tourists from Cabo Verde can be assessed through various crime statistics. The Global Peace Index ranks Angola 70th out of 160 countries, indicating a moderate level of safety. In terms of murder rates, Angola has a lower rate (4.8 per 100,000 people) compared to Cabo Verde (6.5). However, when examining organized crime, Angola scores higher in several areas, such as state crime (8.0) and resource crime (8.5), suggesting more significant challenges in those aspects compared to Cabo Verde. Other crime indices show that while Angola has a moderate level of mafia presence (3.0) and lower scores in drug trafficking, issues like human trafficking (6.0) and arms trafficking (6.0) are more pronounced. Overall, while Angola may have a lower murder rate, tourists should remain vigilant due to the higher levels of organized crime and specific safety concerns.
