Huíla Province

Located in the southern part of Angola, Huila Province extends across 79,023 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with high plateaus and river valleys.

The region remained relatively protected during the Portuguese Colonial War from 1961 to 1975, experiencing limited direct impact during Angola's path to independence.

The Mwila people maintain their traditional presence in the plateau areas, while the Nyaneka-Khumbi communities practice pastoral farming throughout the province.

The provincial capital Lubango connects to other major towns through a network of roads, facilitating trade and transportation across the southwestern region.

The province features the winding Leba Hill road and Bicauri National Park, established in 1964, which covers 790 square kilometers of protected land.
