Lunda Sul Province, Administrative province in northeastern Angola
Lunda Sul Province is an administrative region in northeastern Angola with expansive savannah landscapes and remaining tropical rainforest, particularly along the Kasai River valley. Multiple waterways including the Kasai and Kwango rivers shape the land and settlement patterns throughout the territory.
The province originated from the former Lunda district, with its capital Saurimo established in 1918 as a military post. This founding shaped the region's subsequent development as an administrative and trade center.
The Lunda and Chokwe peoples shape daily life through their craftsmanship and local markets, where visitors can observe traditional work and community practices. Their artistic traditions and handicraft techniques remain visible in villages and during gatherings.
The region is most accessible during the dry season when roads are passable and travel conditions are more stable. Visitors should prepare for basic infrastructure and use local guides to safely explore remote areas.
The territory is home to one of the world's largest diamond mining operations, shaping economic activity and employment for many residents. This mining sector influences the appearance and infrastructure of several settlements throughout the province.
