Nice, little national park

5.00I work in safari travel, so have been around national parks in Africa. This is a nice national park, currently more heavy on flora, but hopefully in a few years more wildlife will return. Our guide was Eddie, who was incredibly knowledgeable. I'm so glad we had a guide like him on our first day in Angola as he gave us a proper insight into the country's history, culture, geography, etc... This was a lovely tour, the Kwanza boat ride is incredible as well, oh and not to mention lunch! Most delicious fish I had. Well done guys, this was a great tour!
Great day experienced on a safari and riverboat ride.

5.00I was not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. We saw many different animals ie gnus, elephants, impalas, and several I didn’t recognize. I especially enjoyed the lack of tourists and commercialization found in more famous parks. We then took a riverboat to our lunch. It was fun to see the people living along the river. The water hyacinths were in bloom and were simply beautiful. The tilapia was delicious. Then we took the river back and returned to Luanda.
Very nice experience

Excellent lunch at Chilala and nice people in the group,including the guide Silana very polite and concerned with everyone. Driver well prepared and passed security.

2.00The “safari” was more of a rough, loud and disappointing drive. The park was more of an overgrown jungle and the vehicle we road in was so old that several seats were broken. We saw kudu (which were incorrectly called springbok), a few deer and 1 elephant. Once we saw the elephant, the drive ended. The “safari” itself was not worth the time we spent driving to and from Luanda to the park.
Fantastic guide

5.00The day was really great. The best thing about it was our guide Etson. Such an interesting, friendly, intelligent person. We learnt so much about Angola from him. He is just a natural and makes you feel so at ease and really made the day.
Elephants!

5.00Worth every $ paid. The guide, Mr Armando was extremely kind and attentive showing us every detail about the tour, in addition to a great conversation. They were very attentive serving us water, juice, snacks during the trip to the park. They were timely for pickup on site and provided me with all the information I asked about the tour. Lunch at the Chilala restaurant on the banks of the Kwanza River closed the tour of the Quiçama Park with a golden key. Regional food "very fixed"! I was happy and satisfied.
Thank you so much, Etson, for making this day so special!

5.00We decided to visit the Quiçama National Park on a free day and we loved the contact with nature. We were very lucky with this experience, mostly thanks to our guide, Mr. Etson, who accompanied us with great sympathy and shared a lot about Angolan customs, culture and history. The journey started from the hotel to the park. There, we had a lot of fun with the monkeys — super friendly and in large numbers! Then, in a tall, protected car, we took a safari through the forest, looking for animals. We could see elephants, gazelles, buffaloes, monkeys, antelopes... It was amazing! Then we took a walk along the beautiful river Kwanza, where we were able to spot crocodiles. We had lunch at a typical restaurant on the river, where we ate a delicious grilled fish. On the return, we still had time to visit the Angolan coast and enjoy an unforgettable sunset. It was an enriching experience, which left us very eager to return. Thank you so much, Etson, for making this day so special!
Amazing!
