An undiscovered paradise of rock

Endless climbing opportunities await you in Angola, a paradise of rock in southwest Africa. From the monolithic conglomerate towers in the jungle of Pedras Negras to the beautiful sandstone canyons of Huíla to the granite domes of Kwanza Sul, Angola has it all.

Get involved

The best way to support the project is by visting and climbing in Angola! Showing the local communities that adventure tourism is a worthwhile endeavour will help to encourage the development of the sport in the country.

Plan your trip

With daily flights into Angola's capital Luanda from Europe, South Africa and Brazil, it's easier than ever to plan a trip to Angola. Pack your climbing gear and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime.

Donate used gear

Used climbing shoes, retired ropes and harnesses can be donated to the project. The local youth are currently learning to climb barefoot or at best in flip-flops, shoes make a huge difference!

Support financially

Buy the digital Climb Angola guidebook for the price of your choosing. The full amount of the purchase goes to fund the community projects and climbing development in the country. Purchase here now.
