Hi all.
Me and 2 friends got stuck in Point Noirre for about 10 days during January!!! NO LUCK!!!
We tried everything,the first time we went the security guard did not what us to go in and just said that people on bikes are not allowed in Angola,We then got invitation letters from a brewery in Angola,that did not help,eventaully whe found a guy who is a personal friend off the amabasador but that did not help!
We where in Accra at the embassy,which is close to the pick&pay or woolworths, they were very friendly but at the end could not help us with anything. We also whent to the embassy in Libreville where the they just told us that they ran out of visa stickers. At the end we had to go back to Dolisie and from there on to brazzaville and on the ferry to Kinshassa and then to Matadi where we got a 5 day visa and had to enter Angola the same day cause the next day was a public holiday.eventually we travelled through Angola in 8 days and the border at oshikati did not have any problems. Angola was really nice and we did enjoy it very much.
I think the thing at Point Noirre is that they don not whant tourists to enter cabinda cause off all the oil,all the wealth in Angola is produced near Cabinda and they do not whant any risks.
Good luck to everyone,just keep on trying,hopefully something will change.
