Itinerary
Day 1
Caboledo
You'll arrive early in the morning. You'll feel the heat on your face when you get off the plane and we'll be waiting for you at the airport door! You'll start your adventure as soon as you set foot on Angolan territory and we'll move on to one of the places that will stick in your memory - Caboledo! We'll spend the day resting from the trip, on the beach, in the pool and walking around. We'll have a group dinner where we can get to know each other better!
Day 2
Towards Benguela
It will be a long day's journey. There will be many stops to photograph various points, for example in Porto Amboim or Sumbe. Lunch will be on the way, calmly... maybe a little grilled fresh fish? Or we wait to arrive at our destination with some snacks and enjoy a bigger feast on arrival! Benguela will welcome us and that day, in the middle of a desert landscape, you can cool off in the pool! In the evening, after dinner, a nice cup of tea with a chat by the fire, what do you think?
Day 3
Kapembawé
On this day we'll take it easy and relax on this huge farm. We're going on a tour where we'll be able to spot ostriches, giraffes, various antelopes, monkeys and baboons, among other species! The swimming pool will always be available and there will be other activities. In the evening, around the campfire, we'll hear some "band" stories that someone local will tell us!
Day 4
Rio Uiri Farm
After a beautiful stroll through the city of Benguela and perhaps a dip in Caotinha, we'll start to head north and visit Fazenda Rio Uiri! This is where we'll spend the night!
Day 5
Binga Waterfalls - Caboledo
We'll wake up early and after breakfast, we'll visit the beautiful Binga waterfalls and hot springs! After all the fun, we continue north where we will watch the sunset on the beach in Caboledo, where we will spend the night.
Day 6
Malange Pedras Negras
We'll leave Caboledo early and head for one of Angola's most iconic places - the Black Stones of Pungo Andongo. The mystique of this place will bring you a mixture of sensations and it will be a moment of great connection with nature. We'll head to the place where we're going to sleep. We'll have a delicious dinner and then rest up so we're ready for the next day!
Day 7
Malange
Today is the day to visit the city of Malange and the rapids of the Kwanza River. An experience not to be missed, full of adventure! This day's lunch should be a picnic, but then we'll make up for it with a super complete and tasty dinner! During the day, we may also have the opportunity to visit an old factory from the colonial era and take a stroll in the surrounding area! At the end of dinner, we'll have another fireside chat to share experiences about who we are, the trip and future plans!
Day 8
Kalandula Falls
Early in the morning, we'll have breakfast and set off to visit the majestic Kalandula Falls! They are the second largest falls in Africa and are undoubtedly a milestone for Angola and Africa! You won't be indifferent to its grandeur and size and if the weather helps, we'll try to get down to its base! It will be a memorable experience! On the same day, we'll head to Luanda, where we'll spend the night and rest up from all the adrenaline of the day!
Day 9
Mussulo
On this rest day, we'll try to visit Mussulo. Weather permitting, the crossing will be by boat and we'll spend a few hours on this peninsula! We'll spend the afternoon at the craft market, where you can buy some souvenirs and support the community!
Day 10
Luanda
Last day, but we still have time for a stroll around the city! The group will decide on the activities, but we could visit the São Miguel Fortress, the Coin Museum, stroll around Luanda Island and the Marginal! It's time to say goodbye to this magnificent country and start thinking about our next trip!
