Madeira is a place so green that one of the first Portuguese sailors to see it exclaimed that it was just “one large garden.” And a garden it has remained, through nearly six centuries of human habitation, through slavery and sugarcane, through extinctions and evolution and the current cultural rebirth. Your hosts on this one-of-a-kind journey at the best time to visit will be the Portuguese culinary icon André Magalhães and renowned PokPok chef and frequent League host Andy Ricker.

From the vibrant capital of Luanda, one of the oldest cities in sub-Saharan Africa, to verdant, volcanic Lubango and onto the desert beaches of Namibe, this is a weeklong journey through a country in the midst of an epic rebirth. Guided by Chef Helt Araújo, one of Angola’s great culinary minds and a leader of its current reinvention, we will dine in open-air markets and elegant urban restaurants, taste Angolan wines at a private chef’s dinner on the beach, and join an indigenous tribe for a whole-goat roast, traversing this righteous land to meet the people rewriting its destiny.
