How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of Angola (0.3541320479893154, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.15, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 911.99303781631 AOA to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
At the budget level of $35 a day, most spending goes toward basic lodging and simple meals, with little left for taxis or paid attractions. The mid-range tier of $85 a day allows for better-located lodging, sit-down restaurant meals, and regular use of taxi apps, while the luxury tier of $185 a day covers more comfortable hotels, private transport, and a wider choice of dining. Over a full week these tiers add up to $245, $595, and $1,295, so travelers can scale the numbers to match how many days they plan to stay.
April, November, and December are the cheapest and quietest months to visit, which can stretch a budget further, though these are also the wettest months, with rainfall reaching around 200mm in April and close to 190mm to 199mm in November and December. All figures here are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices, and actual spending will vary with individual choices around lodging, food, and transport.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Apr, Nov and Dec.
