Kalandula Falls, Horseshoe-shaped waterfall in Malanje Province, Angola.
The Kalandula Falls cascade down 105 meters from the Lucala River, extending across a width of 400 meters through the Angolan landscape.
The waterfall, previously named Duque de Bragança Falls during Portuguese colonial times, stands as a testament to Angola's natural and political evolution.
Local communities near the falls maintain traditional practices, including ceremonies and gatherings at specific points along the Lucala River.
Visitors can reach the falls by taking a 360-kilometer drive east from Luanda, with accommodations available at the Pousada Quedas de Kalandula.
The water volume flowing through Kalandula Falls positions it among the largest waterfalls in Africa, creating multiple rainbows during sunny days.
