Angola is located in south-central Africa and borders Namibia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia, with its west coast on the Atlantic Ocean. The exclave province of Cabinda has a border with Republic of the Congo.

Formerly a Portuguese colony, Angola possesses substantial natural resources, with oil and diamonds being the most significant. The country is nominally a democracy and is formally named the Republic of Angola.

Mussulo is an island located in the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Luanda and is famous for its natural beauty.
