Angola · A closer look
Serra da Leba
A dramatic mountain road where the journey and the view are inseparable.
A road through changing landscapes
Serra da Leba is known for its winding descent from the highlands towards the Namibe side. It is a road journey and viewpoint outing rather than a place to wander on foot around traffic.
Stop where it is appropriate
Travel with a driver familiar with the route. Use suitable stopping points and keep passengers clear of the carriageway. Sharp bends make this a poor place to improvise a photograph from the roadside.
Fit it into a sensible route
Ask whether a viewpoint outing or a full coast-to-highlands transfer best suits your trip. Check road and weather conditions and allow time for the journey in daylight.
Give the day room to unfold
Arrange the excursion with a reputable local provider, check conditions and return transport, and stay on established access routes.
