N'dalatando, Angola

Capital City

This town of 161,584 people may not be the Angolan paradise some expats imagine. The colonial legacy lingers, with bureaucracy a persistent headache. And the city's location, limited by rivers on three sides, means getting in and out can be a hassle. Still, the botanic garden offers a serene escape, and the railway connection provides access to the rest of the country. For those able to navigate the challenges, N'dalatando could be a viable option.
