Border overview
The Angola–Republic of the Congo border is approximately 231 km (143 mi) long, running from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the tripoint with the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the east.
Border line description
The border begins on the Atlantic coast, then proceeds inland using a combination of straight line segments and irregular overland lines, before turning toward the southeast to meet the DRC tripoint.
Nearby regional context
Travel in this corridor can involve multi-border logistics, especially if your itinerary includes Cabinda, the DRC coastline, or onward movement toward Luanda.
