Angola is one of the fastest developing economies in Africa and probably the world. Once peace was restored in this oil and diamond rich country, the government initiated a reconstruction and development plan for the country's infrastructure.
Self drive tourists or overlanders and businessmen has been travelling to Angola from Namibia and South Africa for many years but during the last 3 years we have seen a lot more interest in Angola.
Tracks4Africa maps rely entirely on the contributions from the travelling community, be it for leisure or business. Our contract with the end user is a map constructed to the highest quality standards making use of only GPS recorded tracks and waypoints.
This imply that our map of Angola is far from complete however it does reflect the areas in which people travel today. The data submissions for Angola is becoming more and more and we believe the map will grow rapidly.
The map building process will however not keep abreast of the road construction currently underway in Angola and with this blog we try to highlight what drivers in Angola could expect.
We invite anyone with first hand experience of driving in Angola to participate by sending in comments, becoming a co-author or even sending in GPS recorded data to newdata@tracks4africa.co.za.
