Kalandula Falls- Travel Tips What to See, How to Plan & Tours: Natural Scenery; Angola; 5 Reviews

Suggested Duration: 8 hours

Kalandula Falls, or Quedas de Kalandula as they are locally known, stand as a powerful testament to nature's beauty in Angola's Malanje Province. Previously called Duque de Bragança Falls, they are located on the Lucala River, with a height of 105 meters and a width of 400 meters, making them one of Africa's most voluminous waterfalls. Situated 400 kilometers from Luanda, they are a natural treasure and a symbol of Angola's rich heritage and stunning landscapes. The journey to Kalandula typically passes through Malanje, a province steeped in history, from its establishment by Portuguese settlers in 1852 to its role as a cotton production center in the early 20th century.

awesome , amazing but the want to be guides really detract from the experience. Get rid of the guides which lie and are just annoying and let it be a natural beauty.

Amazing. Beautiful place. There is a fee to pay to see / walk to the waterfall.

Majestic waterfalls! Second largest in Africa after Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls). Dress in comfortable clothes and shoes, ready for a steep hike down and up the natural trails. It gets muddy! 😀 Carry along some drinks and snacks and enjoy a picnic near the falls. Get a fully guided tour from locals who may ask for a contribution for their work.

Just beware of the tour guides, they are very kind and helpful but unexpectedly asked for $100 tip at the end, which is totally a scam in Angola. Totally unheard of…

Hiking down from the hotel is quite steep and slippery, may be better to drive around but either way it was absolutely beautiful and worth it
