The main entertainments for visitors to Luanda are walks in the local nature reserves and exploring natural attractions. Near the city, you will find Cameo National Park, one of the oldest natural parks in the country. Its territory has small forested areas, spacious fields and pastures where local residents graze livestock. Over the last decades, the natural park has severely suffered from poachers. Many wild animals and birds living here were on the verge of extermination. Now the park is under strict protection, being home to very rare species of animals, including black antelopes. Due to the special flow of the Zambezi River, many marshy areas were formed in the reserve. Such areas have become a habitat for rare birds - more than 30 species. The country's largest lake, Dilolo, is also located in this national park. Dozens of interesting routes are laid here for tourists. During tours, they can appreciate all the unique features of the local flora and fauna. The park provides guided tours by jeeps, and walking on foot is allowed in some areas. Given the presence of wild animals, all excursions are only accompanied by experienced rangers. Of equal interest is Kisam's National Park. It lies on the Atlantic coast and was formed more than 80 years ago. This park is striking in the diversity of its flora and fauna. Its vast territory covers an area of about 900 hectares. Here you can admire typical African savannahs, stroll through the beautiful forests and watch rare … Read further
