Suggested Duration: 8 hours

Kissama National Park, located in northwestern Angola along the coast, spans 3,845.57 square miles (9,960 sq km) and is one of the country's most important conservation areas. Also known as Quicama, the park is bordered by the Atlantic Coast to the east, the Cuznza River to the north, and the Longa River to the south. It is a mix of savannah grasslands, Baobab forests, and riverine vegetation that supports a range of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and a variety of bird species. Despite the challenges posed by Angola's civil war, the park has seen significant recovery efforts, especially through the Noah's Ark project, which involved the relocation of animals from Botswana and South Africa. Today, Kissama plays a vital role in lion conservation and offers an exceptional experience for those interested in wildlife restoration and birdwatching.

We had called the administrator couple of days ago, he said no need to pre-book, at arrival the reception said we should have pre-booked, we had to wait for 2 hours. Vehicle used for tour is in bad condition (seats conditions) and not too safe especially for children. Could not see too much animals compared to other safaries.

Overall experience was bad. Chaotic reception and booking is random. Tour vehicle is in bad condition and not recommended to bring young children, also the driver was reckless. Not too much animals to see.

National park of Angola where you can go on safaris. It's not that well developed for tourists yet though. To preserve the wildlife, remember to keep the speed limit to avoid hurting wild animals and take your trash back home with you.

Nice place to go for the day or to stay overnight. Cabins are ok. Nothing special but well worth for a special night away.

Worth the visit - Gazelles/ Giraffes / Zebras / monkeys, other animals & elephants if you are lucky.. Time: For good possibility of viewing more animals need to arrive at park location quite early - say 7-8 am. If summer time animals seem to hide more middle of day to avoid heat. Location: is around 2 hrs from Talatona (including around 45mins of 30-40 kms in a bumpy road from main park entrance until the safari camp) Fees: are quite good - park entrance fee per person - 1K Kwanzas per person under 17 yrs old & 2.5K Kwanzas over... Another fee is 4K Kwanzas per person if you are taking the park's safari car. (Check pics of fees attached) Practicalities: Park's SAFARI Car is uncomfortable with some metal part on the seat. With the bumpy ride - might be good if you can have some padded pillow/towel to sit on. The seats at the side of the safari car are fun but take care of getting scratched by trees & plants during the ride.. ENJOY....
