Angola visa available in Abuja
A number of people travelling through (including myself) have managed to obtain an Angolan visa in Abuja, Nigeria. I got a double entry, 30 day visa in about 2 hours for 60USD. The embassy staff in Abuja seem quite confused why all of a sudden, 2-5 travellers turn up every day looking for visas. So I don't know how long it will continue (until they run out of stickers, probably), but get them while you can.
The Embassy is open for visas on Monday, Wednesday and Friday 09.30 to 12.00. Se get there for 10.00 and you should get it the same day. Don't expect to be let into the embassy though - I had to do all my pleading from the street, through a grate in the wall.

Angola Visum in Abuja
Hello!
We got the Visa today too. We stay their with 4 other travellers and the Woman from the embassy looked really confused!
Have a look for your money! They take only new US Dollar, but we think they have some old one's to change. One of us have to change a 20 Dollar from 1977.... He's sure he had only new money!!
Good luck for the next travellers!
See you later ! Werner+Claudia

Hi Werner and Claudia,
Where are you now? I will be leaving Yaounde tomorrow morning (16th Feb), as I will have all my visas collected. I will probably catch up with Taco and Felix around Point-Noire/Calabar.

Gabon to Angola is the most fun part of the trip! :-)
Get a visa wherever you can, as a last resort you can get one in Matadi, but that is a bit foolish. Crossing Angola in 5 days is pretty impossible (took us 7 days, no (big) problems at the border when exiting).
The ferry Brazza/Kinshasa is very possible and easier then trying to get trough via Cabinda. I outlined pricing, procedures, waypoints on all of Radio Baobab » Practical information
Good luck and enjoy!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
