Gama, Angola

Gama sits in Angola's Cuanza Sul Province, a region still grappling with the aftermath of a brutal civil war. The province has one of the highest landmine densities in the country, particularly in rural areas. Daily life here moves at a slower pace, with Kimbundu and Umbundu being the dominant languages.

Expats in Gama need to be acutely aware of the landmine risk when venturing outside the city center. The Atlantic coastline offers some respite, but infrastructure remains patchy. This isn't a place for the unprepared or those seeking a cushy expat bubble.
