Arrival in Luanda and transfer to your comfortable 3*/4* hotel. Time to freshen-up before taking in some of the capital’s sights on a short city tour. Get to know your fellow travellers and our local team over a leisurely dinner.

A full day drive to the east, passing little visited forests where we hope to catch sight of monkeys, as well as birds endemic to the area. 

Today we will make an excursion to the Kalandula Falls (3hrs each way). As with much of this tour we pass through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Angola.

Today we return to the west travelling via Pedras Negras to Cambambe. Site of a large hydroelectric dam, Cambambe supplies power to Luanda as well as irrigation water for the valley of the Kwanza River.

Today we travel directly south, passing through more amazingly beautiful landscape to Waku Kungo, the southernmost point of our tour. The journey will be fascinating as with all our tours in Angola, you will be amongst an elite group of pioneering travellers to explore this incredible country. Throughout you will have plenty of opportunity to meet the local people and learn about their culture and traditions.

Probably one of the most scenic days of the trip, we head towards the Atlantic Coast passing through Gabela an area known for its endemic birds. This is also one of the main coffee growing regions and we will pass hills covered with plantations. Before reaching Sumbe we stop at the Cachoeiras Falls.

We start our journey north, hugging the spectacular Atlantic coastline. We travel through the town of Porto Amboim before reaching our destination, Cabo Ledo. With its deserted, pristine beach, Cabo Ledo is a welcome break. Simply relax on the beach, take a swim or enjoy some of the finest seafood in Southern Africa.

After a couple of hours drive we enter the Kissama Game Park, home to a growing number of animals. We believe that Kissama is typical of the spirit of Angola and its proud people. It is at the forefront of the country’s wildlife regeneration efforts, thanks largely to a pioneering relief project known as Operation Noah’s Ark. The project seeks to rehabilitate the park by importing elephants from game reserves in South Africa and Botswana. The project has gone on to introduce zebras, ostrich, wildebeest and giraffe. Visitors may also be lucky to spot the indigenous palanca antelope that was thought to have been on the brink of extinction.

The final leg of this amazing tour takes us back to the capital, once again following the beautiful coastline. Enroute we will be able to take in fine views of the Mussulo Islands located just south of Luanda and a popular weekend spot for the city’s residents. We check-in to a good 3*/4* hotel to enjoy our last night. It will be a good chance to reflect on what will have been a wonderful introduction to this incredible, unexplored country.

Transfer to the international airport for your departure.
