Lunda Norte Province

Lunda Norte is a province in northeastern Angola containing ten municipalities with Dundo as its administrative center. The region covers thousands of square kilometers and borders the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The region developed from the Lunda Kingdom, which flourished in the 16th century as a confederation of states. It became a separate province in 1978 after splitting from the original Lunda territory.

The Tchokwe people inhabit this province and transmit their traditions through ceremonies and gatherings held in community spaces. These practices shape daily life and connections among local communities.

Flights connect Dundo and Lucapa airports to the capital, while road travel passes through other provinces and requires extended time. Visitors should plan ahead as infrastructure is limited and arrangements may need advance booking.

The Cuango River valley holds substantial diamond deposits and represents Angola's most productive mining region. This resource has long shaped economic activity and human movement across the area.
