Saurimo is the capital of Lunda Sul province in northeastern Angola, a regional administrative and mining centre on the interior plateau. The town is compact and planned around a central grid, surrounded by wooded savanna.
The town serves the surrounding diamond-mining region and is a working centre rather than a destination, with its markets and central square the main points of interest. The plateau landscape and the rivers around the town are the regional draw, though access generally needs arranged transport.
The centre is walkable, with taxis and minibuses covering longer distances. The town has an airport with connections to Luanda, and road journeys across the interior are long and vary with the season.
The plateau climate is milder than the coast, with a distinct rainy season through the southern summer and a dry, cooler season in the middle of the year. The dry season is much the easier time for road travel.
Angola uses the AOA, calling code +244.
Angola uses the kwanza, and Portuguese is the official language with Chokwe widely spoken in this region. Greetings are expected before business, and cash is the norm for everyday transactions.
