Luengue-Luiana National Park

The park extends over 42,000 square kilometers of open woodland and wetlands along the Cuando River in southeastern Angola.

The area transformed from colonial hunting reserves to a national park in 2011, following decades of wildlife decline during the Angolan Civil War.

Local communities participate in conservation programs while maintaining traditional practices in designated areas of the expansive protected territory.

Visitors require advance permits and four-wheel drive vehicles to access the park, with guided tours available from May through October.

The park forms part of a five-nation conservation zone connecting protected areas across Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
