Lubango is a city in Southwest Angola, the country's second largest after the capital Luanda.
Lubango has one of the coolest climates in Angola, due to its southerly position and high altitude, above 1700 m.
The city center is small enough to be explored by foot. The white and blue shared minibus run along the main roads (R. Patrice Lumumba, along the river, etc.). Show your direction and ask the driver assistant. Ride cost: 200 Kz
