Route
Luanda to Malanje
The shortest of the long inland runs and the standard way to reach the Kalandula Falls. Malanje is not on the scheduled domestic network, so driving is the practical option.
What the journey is like
The Kalandula Falls lie roughly 85 km beyond Malanje, and the Pungo Andongo rock formations are on the same circuit.
Cangandala National Park, the last refuge of the giant sable, is reached from Malanje but needs permission arranged in advance.
The driving time is a band calculated at 50 to 70 km/h on an indicative distance of 380 km. It does not include stops, fuel, roadworks or delays leaving Luanda, so treat the upper end as the realistic figure on a first trip.
