Cameia National Park in Angola's Moxico province is a vast, biodiverse area spanning 14,450 square kilometers, known for its varied ecosystems from flooded plains to miombo woodlands. Located at about 1100 meters above sea level, it is part of the Zambezi river basin and is bordered by notable rivers and the Cameia–Luacano road. The park is a haven for wildlife, particularly aquatic birds in its peripheral lakes, Lago Cameia and Lago Dilolo, the latter being Angola's largest lake. Established as a game reserve in 1938 and upgraded to a national park in 1957, Cameia has suffered from the effects of civil war, including poaching and infrastructure damage. Despite these challenges, efforts are underway to restore and conserve this ecologically significant area, making it a compelling destination for nature enthusiasts and conservationists.
Cameia National Park offers a quiet escape into Angola’s wilderness. The park features expansive wetlands and seasonally flooded grasslands, creating rich habitats for birds, antelopes, and hippos. Wildlife sightings can be rewarding, especially in the early morning or late afternoon. The park is still relatively undeveloped, which means fewer crowds but also limited facilities, so visitors should plan carefully. Its untouched landscapes provide a peaceful, authentic safari experience for nature lovers.

Wonderful experience. This is a magic place.
We drove for three hours and we didn't see any wild animals.
