Angola
Someday we will visit Huambo or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Huambo

Huambo is a city in Central Angola, and capital of the Huambo Province. It is one of the largest provincial cities in Angola, comparable in size with Lubango and Lobito/Benguela. Once called Nova Lisboa, it was designed in 1912 to be the new capital of Angola, and the beauty of that era is still apparent. Angola's civil war took a massive toll on Huambo and its surrounding areas, leaving most buildings in the city full of bullet holes. In recent years, reconstruction efforts have changed the face of the city, and the economy is booming as businesses reinvest.

Situated in the Angolan central highlands, Huambo is located near the headwaters of the Kunene River.
