Route
Luanda to Huambo
A long day of driving up onto the central plateau, for a city most travellers pass through rather than linger in. The flight is the better use of a short trip.
What the journey is like
By road you climb steadily from the coastal plain to around 1,700 metres. Expect a noticeable temperature drop.
The driving time is a band calculated at 50 to 70 km/h on an indicative distance of 600 km. It does not include stops, fuel, roadworks or delays leaving Luanda, so treat the upper end as the realistic figure on a first trip.
