Kalandula Falls, Horseshoe-shaped waterfall in Malanje Province, Angola.
Kalandula Falls is a horseshoe-shaped waterfall in Malanje Province that stretches across more than 400 meters. The water drops about 105 meters and forms a defining feature of the river landscape.
The waterfall was known as Duque de Bragança Falls during Portuguese colonial times and regained its original name after independence. The site marks a point in both Angola's natural and political history.
Local communities gather at various spots along the river for meetings and ceremonies that center on the water and its natural force. These locations hold deep social meaning for the people who live nearby.
The site is reachable by a drive of about 360 kilometers from Luanda, with lodging available in the area. Visitors should prepare for varied terrain and weather-dependent conditions.
The water flow creates multiple rainbows during sunny days, a natural display that shifts with time of day. This optical effect makes visiting at different hours particularly rewarding.
