Uíge is the capital of the province of the same name in northern Angola, in humid forested country near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The town is a modest provincial centre and was damaged during the civil war.
The province was historically the centre of Angola's coffee industry, and the plantations and forest of the region are its character. The town is administrative rather than a destination, and the surrounding country is the main interest.
Taxis and minibuses cover the town, and road connections to Luanda are long. The airport provides links to the capital.
The northern provinces are wetter and more humid than the coast, with a long rainy season. The drier months in the middle of the year are much easier for road travel.
Angola uses the AOA, calling code +244.
Angola uses the kwanza, and Portuguese is the official language with Kikongo widely spoken in this region. Greetings precede business, and cash is the norm.
