Local laws and customs

You must not use cameras, binoculars, maps, GPS equipment, etc. near government buildings of any description. Taking photographs in the streets can draw the attention of the authorities. Your equipment may be confiscated.

Drug taking and smuggling are offences. The punishments can be severe. Prison conditions are very poor. 

If you are drunk when you arrive at Luanda airport you may be refused entry, detained and deported. Similarly, airlines can and do refuse to carry passengers out of Angola if they are drunk. Conditions inside police stations and the criminal investigation department are very basic.

Homosexual acts are illegal.
