We are moving to Luanda this August and were anticipating placement for our 14 year old son at LIS, but the waiting list is now looking too long to hold out much hope. Among the options we're exploring is to hire a teacher/tutor to guide, assist, ...
Hi Patricia & Maryna I feel for you both. I taught at LIS for 2 years and waiting lists was a way of life then also. The school simply can't grow fast enough - it does not have either the physical space or the teaching staff to do so. However, if ... Read More

Hi Miki You are asking about moving companies - we are leaving in 2 weeks & it seems that there is only one company for moving - you get referred to it by all other companies. Costs are prohibitive - I hope your employer covers everything! We have ... Read More

Hi Tintin Please confirm with the international school's enrollment office that you can in fact send your children to the school. Do not assume this as many year levels are full and have waiting lists. Sue Read More

A question was asked about vegetarians in Angola. Both my partner & myself are vegetarians (we don't eat seafood either) & have found it OK here. Most restaurants are very meat or sea-food orientated - so we avoid them. We certainly would avoid any ... Read More
Surfing in Angola by Jeremy1
Hello all! I'm moving out to Luanda in October to work for 16 months and wondered if any of you guys are surfers or have friends who surf. There is information online about the surf scene in Angola, but I would be interested to hear from anyone ...
Hi Jeremy, Lots of teachers at my school suf every weekend. You will need to bring a board. Everyone seems to surf at Cabo Ledo beach & there can be a good crowd there on the weekend. We get there in a minibus - the road is very good right until ... Read More

I've been living in Luanda for about 10 months now & have found this thread interesting. Personally, no one I know has ever had to pay bribes or other fees at the airport, but then everyone I know comes with a correct visa (which is a saga in ... Read More

Hi Dhaval There are a few Indian families in Luanda (we have some of the children at our school) but certainly not many. I don't think I would say family life is risky here, but it certainly is very different from life in other countries. Most ... Read More
