Vila Teixeira da Silva in Angola stands apart with its striking tapestry of Baobab-lined streets, where the renowned Mbulu sculpture artisans converge every June for the annual Festival of Ancestral Spirits. Here, unique red earth lodges reflect a harmonious blend of tribal Khoisan designs and Portuguese colonial influences. The city breathes to the rhythm of its traditional Kizomba beats echoing through the open-air markets filled with rare, aromatic Mokuti spices that can't be found elsewhere.
