Angola presents an intriguing option for Zambian visitors, offering a blend of rich history and vibrant culture. Although it currently ranks low in global tourism, its diverse attractions and improving infrastructure make it appealing to a segment of Zambia's 20 million population.
Angola is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, ranking 70th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index. However, it is less safe than Zambia, which ranks 55th. In terms of crime statistics, Angola has a murder rate of 4.8 per 100,000 people, slightly lower than Zambia's rate of 5.4. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that both countries have similar ratings for mafia groups (3.0), but Angola scores higher in state crime (8.0 compared to Zambia's 6.0) and resource crime (8.5 compared to Zambia's 5.5). Overall, while Angola has some areas of concern regarding crime, it remains a viable destination for tourists from Zambia, provided they take standard safety precautions.
