Cacimbo is the name given only in Angola to the "dry" season (without rain) that runs from May to August. It is called the dry season in contrast to the rainy season, from September to April, but in fact, it is quite humid. During this period, an intense mist, also called cacimba, often occurs, which gives the season its name.

And with Cacimbo arriving, many people want to take trips to enjoy the coldest season of the year. Due to the climatic conditions, traveling during Cacimbo can be a bit different, so many people wonder how to choose accommodation during this time of year. Since it is a time of low demand, some hotel units offer various promotions, making it a great idea to take trips with family, friends, or even romantic getaways to stay cozy with the one you love.
When we think of destinations in this season, the central and southern interior regions of our country immediately come to mind. Cities such as Bié, Huambo, and Huíla are great for enjoying the cold without leaving nature aside.
After defining your destination, you will better understand which type of accommodation best fits your needs. This will influence not only the price but your entire trip. From there, understand what your needs are and choose the services that best fit them – for example, transfer, bar, restaurant, tours, full board, or just breakfast. Therefore, it is essential to visit the website and check the services offered.
Among the various activities that you can do during this time, we suggest staying in cozy hotels, walking or jogging, cycling, hiking, making bonfires, drinking wine, eating fondue, reading a book, or watching movies and series.
