Route
Luanda to Lubango
A thousand kilometres is two long days of driving each way. On a trip of two weeks or less, flying buys you back three or four days.
What the journey is like
If you do drive, the coastal road takes you through Benguela and Lobito, which are worth a night rather than a rushed lunch stop.
Domestic schedules to secondary cities change often. Confirm with the airline before you build an itinerary around a specific day.
The driving time is a band calculated at 50 to 70 km/h on an indicative distance of 1000 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.
