Cangandala National Park

The park extends across 600 square kilometers of undulating sandlime hills and grass-covered drainage lines between the Cuije and Cuanza rivers.

Portuguese authorities established the park in 1963 upon discovering the giant sable antelope population, granting it national park status in 1970.

The national park maintains connections with neighboring communities who engage in traditional farming practices while respecting conservation boundaries.

Visitors should arrange guided tours between June and September when temperatures are lower and wildlife gathers near water sources.

The park contains specific tree varieties including Brachystegia, Julbernardia, and Dombeya, creating habitats for diverse bird populations.
