Angola is an intriguing destination in Southern Africa, combining a complex history with a dynamic present. Although it ranks low in global tourism arrivals and revenue, its unique richness and diversity, along with an improving tourism infrastructure, enhance its appeal. A segment of the 33.5 million Americans who travel internationally each year may find Angola to be an interesting option.
Angola is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists from the United States. According to the Global Peace Index, Angola ranks 70th out of 160 countries, which is safer than the United States, ranked 130th. In terms of crime statistics, Angola has a murder rate of 4.8 per 100,000 people, compared to the United States' rate of 6.8. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index indicates that Angola has lower scores in several crime categories compared to the U.S., particularly in areas like mafia presence and heroin trade. However, Angola does face challenges with state crime and resource crime, which are rated higher than in the U.S. Overall, while there are safety concerns, Angola presents a safer environment in certain aspects compared to the United States. Tourists should remain vigilant and informed about local conditions while traveling.
