Cameia National Park

The Cameia National Park encompasses 14,450 square kilometers of seasonally flooded plains within the Zambezi river basin at 1,100 meters elevation.

The territory transformed from a game reserve in 1938 to a national park in 1957, marking Angola's initial steps toward environmental conservation.

The park's management incorporates local community participation in conservation efforts, creating employment opportunities and supporting regional traditions.

Two major lakes, Cameia and Dilolo, provide opportunities for bird watching and fishing activities throughout the designated areas.

The northern section channels water into the Chifumage River, while the Lumege and Luena rivers define the southwestern boundaries of the park.
