A tragedy of a national park.. very few animals, and about 100,000 humans living inside the protected area… during covid pandemic, the 60+ giraffe population was decimated to 0.. they’ve had to import 3 new giraffes and restart the population. Frankly this place needs 2 days of safari to see anything, and the high human presence around the park meaning poaching will probably keep the animal populations very low (unlike the hubs of life visible in south Kenya and Tanzania) There are far more fertile and isolated parts of Angolan Wilderness that need protecting. This was a great idea during colonial times, when the population of Luanda was sub-1million. It’s now difficult to fathom how long this can continue to be called a “National Park” with any credibility

Worth the visit - Gazelles/ Giraffes / Zebras / monkeys, other animals & elephants if you are lucky.. Time: For good possibility of viewing more animals need to arrive at park location quite early - say 7-8 am. If summer time animals seem to hide more middle of day to avoid heat. Location: is around 2 hrs from Talatona (including around 45mins of 30-40 kms in a bumpy road from main park entrance until the safari camp) Fees: are quite good - park entrance fee per person - 1K Kwanzas per person under 17 yrs old & 2.5K Kwanzas over... Another fee is 4K Kwanzas per person if you are taking the park's safari car. (Check pics of fees attached) Practicalities: Park's SAFARI Car is uncomfortable with some metal part on the seat. With the bumpy ride - might be good if you can have some padded pillow/towel to sit on. The seats at the side of the safari car are fun but take care of getting scratched by trees & plants during the ride.. ENJOY....

Very interesting. It is not far from the city and it is worthy to visit BUT please come early in the morning (from 6:30 to 8:30) is the optimum to see all the animals. I started after 9:00 AM and I could see almost everything except the elephants. Even while driving to the reception, you start seeing animals crossing the road... Very Nice! Be prepared to pay (as a tourist) 2500 Kz at the main gate and 4000 for the safari itself in the park's rangers trucks. You could also have breakfast first or afterwards in the restaurant or Lunch... They also get accomodations to sleep over there (200 $ per night). It's a pitty, the authorities does not communicate too much around this precious natural site.

Not too many animals, but we did see a family of elephants and some giraffes — still worth the visit if you're in Luanda!

You should join the safari tour if you only join the regular truck from the park, you will not see the animals.

Perfect place for a day out, from Luanda. Set amidst nature, is well connected to the capital of Angola, through a highway. The park has some giraffes, wild boars and migratory birds during winters. In addition to the fauna, the vegetation is also quite unique. The landscape is surreal with African cactus which grow to more than 10 feet and Baobab with extremely broad trunks for storing water through the drought season. Beautiful

National park of Angola where you can go on safaris. It's not that well developed for tourists yet though. To preserve the wildlife, remember to keep the speed limit to avoid hurting wild animals and take your trash back home with you.

Ein Park der auf viel Arbeit wartet. Schöne Landschaft, wenig Tiere, das Resort oder Restaurant sind heruntergekommen und auf keinen Fall benutzbar.

Kwanza Lodge was amazing. Accommodation, food and the staff were fantastic. 😀👍🎣🎣

Viel Arbeit + Enthusiasmus notwendig. Unterkünfte nicht bewohnbar. Restaurant nicht vertrauenswürdig. Keine Safarifahrzeuge vor Ort.

(Translated by Google) The Quiçama National Park, or Kissama, is located on the west coast of Angola, in southern Africa. The park consists of a coastal savanna with baobabs, meadows and mangroves. The Cuanza River is located to the north. The Longa River is located to the south. After the Angolan Civil War, a wildlife reintroduction program was developed that added elephants, giraffes and zebras to sea turtles and the park's extensive avifauna. The main base for safaris is Kawa Camp. Area: 9,960 km² Established: 1957 Location: Luanda, Angola (Original) O Parque Nacional da Quiçama, ou Kissama, está situado na costa oeste de Angola, no sul de África. O parque consiste numa savana litoral com baobás, prados e mangais. O rio Cuanza situa-se a norte. O rio Longa situa-se a sul. Após a Guerra Civil Angolana, foi desenvolvido um programa de reintrodução da vida selvagem que acrescentou elefantes, girafas e zebras às tartarugas marinhas e à extensa avifauna do parque.

It has a wonderful view. I once again had the opportunity to enjoy one of the largest rivers in Africa (Kwanza River). That Wonderful breeze was a unique experience. Anyone will love that wonderful view.

(Translated by Google) Good place, however the facilities and options need to improve a little more. The on-site foods (restaurant) could be a bit more diverse. The price is access to animals need to be reviewed in order to attract more customers. (Original) Bom lugar, contudo as instalações e opções precisam melhorar um pouco mais. As comidas no local (restaurante) poderiam ser um pouco mais diversificadas. O preço é o acesso aos animais precisam ser revisto de forma a atrair mais clientes.

Beautiful landscape. Great potencial. But unfortunatly infrastructures are in a very bad state and poaching is destroying the wildlife

(Translated by Google) Very good has zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, orix, etc. (Original) Muito bom tem zebras,girafas,gnus,gazelas,orix,etc

Around 75 kms from Luanda trough cost road lays Angola best know Wildlife Park Quiçama. They do have a lodge in the park and is better to make reservations in advance mostly for weekends spend outs. Not a luxury lodge but you get the basic to have a good stay. They do have a safari service and it may be difficult to view animals sometimes. A good hideout for the busy Luanda´s life. Very good views from the lodge to the surrounded area.

Wonderful place to see many animals, the service is good and staff helpful. To stay overnight there are comfortable huts

It's the best place to visit during holidays

Good park but no predators. Game drive is rough

Definitely visit this place once you are in Luanda. We can see Wild animals in their own territory. Best season is Monsoon.

On the bright side: Very interesting place, huge area, full of baobab trees and opportunity to meet "wild" animals (actually living within area surrounded with fence). On the dark side: excursion though the park takes place in the very noisy trucks, spitting lots of fumes, and chasing the animals, near to driving into them. Be aware that drivers drive like crazy, and there is a real danger of being hurt by the trees' brunches, possibly cutting your face. Be careful and protect your face, especially if you are sitting on the side seats.

Serious investment is needed for client satisfaction.

Fun for the whole family...

Enjoyed the art and beautiful paintings

I do not recommend (Original) Infelizmente péssimo, estrada para chegar em péssimas condições, não existe qualquer infra estrutura, o que tem foi desativado, não se consegue comprar uma água.... Guias despreparados e o pior, pouco se vê animais. Não recomendo

Nice place to go for the day or to stay overnight. Cabins are ok. Nothing special but well worth for a special night away.

We had called the administrator couple of days ago, he said no need to pre-book, at arrival the reception said we should have pre-booked, we had to wait for 2 hours. Vehicle used for tour is in bad condition (seats conditions) and not too safe especially for children. Could not see too much animals compared to other safaries.

Paisajes que merecen la pena. Puedes ver elefantes, cebras, ñus, monos y antílopes.

(Translated by Google) The park is clean and well maintained, the safaris are very interesting. It is very rewarding to see animals and nature in all their splendor. A unique experience, very rewarding. I strongly advise anyone who can do it. As a note, I leave the warning that the park fees almost never work so it is advisable to take cash on hand for any type of payment. At this time neither the lodge nor the restaurant is functioning, so for those going on safari it is better to take a chest with food and drinks. However, everyone is friendly and helpful and the experience is truly incredible. Even if we hadn't seen animals, it would have been worth it just for the scenery and the feeling of peace. (Original) O parque está limpo e bem cuidado, os safaris são muito interessantes. É muito recompensador ver os animais e a natureza em todo o seu esplendor. Uma experiência única, muito gratificante. Aconselho vivamente a quem puder fazê-lo . Como nota, deixo o aviso que os tpa do parque quase nunca funcionam por isso é aconselhável levar dinheiro em mão para qualquer tipo de pagamento. Nesta altura nem o lodge nem o restaurante estão a funcionar, por isso , para quem for fazer o safari é melhor levar arca com alimentos e bebidas. No entanto, todos são simpáticos e prestáveis e a experiência é verdadeiramente incrível. Mesmo se não tivéssemos avistado animais teria valido a pena só pela paisagem e sensação de paz.

Good

Very poor. A few giraffes and elefants. Not really a safari

Superb & beautifull

The park needs better driving roads and the management needs to fix the park trucks. The truck broke down while we were around the animals. They also need more workers driving to make sure people don't break down on the road to the safari also so no one won't get lost. Other than that it was good to see a different side of Angola.

Overall experience was bad. Chaotic reception and booking is random. Tour vehicle is in bad condition and not recommended to bring young children, also the driver was reckless. Not too much animals to see.
