Lunda Norte Province, Administrative province in northeastern Angola
Lunda Norte covers 103,760 square kilometers of land, sharing borders with the Democratic Republic of Congo and containing ten distinct municipalities including Dundo, its capital.
The region emerged from the Lunda Kingdom confederation of states in 1590 and later split from Lunda Province into Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul through decree-law in 1978.
The province maintains strong Tchokwe ethnic traditions, with numerous communities practicing traditional ceremonies in designated palatial houses where cultural values transmission occurs.
Transportation to Lunda Norte includes flights connecting Dundo and Lucapa airports with Luanda, while road access requires extended travel through neighboring provinces.
The Cuango River valley within Lunda Norte contains substantial diamond deposits, making it the most productive diamond mining region in Angola.
