The Angolan eVisa system is not always fast. Apply at least 3–4 weeks before your trip. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have your visa approved.
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must have a yellow fever vaccination certificate to enter Angola. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport (which can be expensive and inconvenient).
