Hi, I am looking for an interpreter for a 2 week business trip to Cabinda but haven't had any luck finding anything on line - if anyone has any referrals or contacts that would be great. Thanks.

Does any person or company do paddling on the River Kwanza,Angola, and if not can any person or company supply an answer to wheter a 'Source to Mouth' river expedition is at all possible on the Kwanza. If not please state why not.
Who will provide info on roads and or Vehicle back-up.

I will travel to Luanda in the end of February for a research on contemporary art. As all hotels seem to be very expensive, I am interested if anyone has a good recommendation for a guesthouse, or family, community where I could stay. I will stay for four weeks.

I am also looking for artists, so if you know some intersting people, or you are one of them, please let me know!

Best wishes,

Nadine

Well I have been travelling to Africa on a regular basis for the last 7 years. I have a music label spezialised in African music so thats the main reason for my trips. Sometimes I just arrive at the airport, take a taxi, who dropes me in front of a nice place, I pay my 10$ per night and after three weeks I head back to Frankfurt. Sometimes I book in Advance but thats rare. Anyway I am planning a trip to Luanda and I am actually on the brink of giving up ;) first it looks like I need a invitation from Angola to get a visa!! I dont know anybody there so what to do? Secondly and thats been my main problem, I couldnt find anything under $65 per night. I am planning to stay 25 days so at that price its not an option. Third problem, I have written to 15 persones leaving in Luanda from this site but no reply yet. So if anyone can help, please let me know. Thanks. Samy
