More importantly, what would they do in Angola? Not to be combative but I'm curious; wiki doesn't really provide anything unique that would be worth featuring over a different destination (*coughs*Senegal, Rwanda*coughs*).

National parks like other African countries I like Angola cause I saw a pic of Angola and it was beautiful

As it happens, as of two days ago, Angola has made itself easier to visit.
What a coincidence.

A presidential order from February provides for four African countries (Botswana, Mauritius, Seychelles and Zimbabwe) and one Asian country (Singapore) to be exempt from tourist visas and 61 countries to benefit from a procedure to simplify the process of granting a tourist visa.
Algeria, Cabo Verde (Cape Verde), Madagascar, Malawi, Morocco, Lesotho, Sao Tome and Principe, Swaziland and Zambia are countries that have benefited from simplification processes and in Europe, in addition to the 28 countries that make up the European Union, Northern Ireland, Iceland, Monaco, Norway, United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland and Vatican City are included in the presidential order.
Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Cuba, United States, Uruguay and Venezuela are the American countries covered by the visa simplification process and in Asia the order specifies China, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, India, Indonesia, Israel and Japan, with Australia, New Zealand and Timor-Leste (East Timor) covered in Oceania.

I think Angola should be safe nonetheless...
EDIT: I use wikitravel as a source (I'm pretty sure it's a reliable source of info) of background verification and...
--- Quote ---In general, you shouldn't travel within Angola without the assistance of qualified personnel. However, if you follow some basic rules, travelling in Angola isn't dangerous. First of all, travelling after dark and alone is never a good idea. If possible, join with several cars of the same make and model because of the possible need for spare parts. Carry a satellite telephone in the case of a breakdown or other emergency. Be aware, that while Iridium satellite phones have global coverage, Thuraya satellite phones have coverage in most of Angola, but may not have coverage in the southern parts of the country.
Avoid using your camera in front of police (dressed in blue uniforms). Photography will result, at best, in a very heavy fine, but could also have more dire consequences.
NEVER step beyond the red and white HALO Trust posts. These denote mine fields.
Due to the high rate of HIV in the country, all forms of prostitution are illegal, and punishments are severe.
