Kalandula Falls & Pedras Negras - 2 Day Tour

Experience two of Angola's most spectacular natural landmarks on this journey through the provinces of Kwanza Norte and Malanje. From the spectacular Kalandula Falls, one of Africa's largest waterfalls by volume, to the remarkable rock formations of Pedras Negras of Pungo Andongo, this tour combines breathtaking scenery, fascinating history, and local culture. Along the way, we'll also visit the historic town of N'dalatando and its beautiful Botanical Garden. With dramatic landscapes, impressive viewpoints, and stories dating back to Queen N'zinga, this journey offers much more than sightseeing. It's an opportunity to learn about the people, history, and traditions that shaped the region. The itinerary is flexible, allowing time to enjoy the scenery, take photographs, and explore each location at your own pace. If you have special interests, I'll be happy to tailor the experience. This tour is perfect for travelers who want to experience some of Angola's most famous landscapes in a short amount of time.
