Benguela, beautiful port city in Angola, Baia Azul, railway station,
Benguela is a city in western Angola that lies on the bay of the same name and is one of Angola's most populous cities. Benguela was once among the grimmest slave ports on earth...it is estimated that as many as four million slaves were shipped out of Angola or died in raids, on marches to the coast, or at sea. according to Paul Theroux (Th last train to zona verde).
Benguela, a Portuguese fort from 1587 was founded in 1617 by the Portuguese under Manuel Cerveira Pereira. It was a centre of slave trading. Besides the churches of S. Felipe and S. António, the hospital, and the fortress, there were, as of 1911, only a few stone-built houses. A short way beyond Benguela is Baía Farta, where salt was manufactured and sulphur was extracted. Close to Baia Farta was the most beautiful beach of Baia Azul. The city prospered and grew in the following decades. The Benguela Railway was built in the early 20th century by Portugal to connect the city and Lobito to the interior, and it achieved great success when linked to the Copperbelt of Katanga, DR Congo and Zambia. Starting in the early 20th century, Benguela attracted, developed, and retained quality businesses and professionals into its thriving and growing economy. Sisal and fishing industries expanded and the financial, construction and services market boomed until 1974.
During the Angolan civil war, the Benguela Railway was closed with a short distance of 30 km remaining operation.

Bicauri National Park is a beautiful national park in Angola
Bicauri National Park (Portuguese: Parque Nacional do Bicuar; also called Bicuar National Park or Bikuar/Huila National Park) is a national park in Angola. It is located in the south-west region of the country on the Huila Plateau, about 120 km SE of Lubango. The park is an area of sandy hills and shrub thicket character. The climate is tropical semi-arid. Bicuar was established as a hunting reserve in 1938, and reformed as a national park in 1964. Historically known for its large mammals, such as the Black Buffalo, the park suffered heavily in the Angolan Civil War (1975-2002). During this time the animals were mostly or entirely exterminated, but the Angolan Government is now undertaking efforts to rebuild the infrastructure and resettle the animals.[1]
