About Quiçama National Park

Quiçama National Park
 

Quiçama National Park, also known as Kissama National Park, spans over 3 million acres in Angola, situated primarily in the Luanda Province. This vast expanse of wilderness is defined by its rich biodiversity and unique ecosystems, which include savannas, dense forests, and watery channels of the Kwanza River. Historically, Quiçama served as a remote game reserve during the colonial era. The park has witnessed a remarkable wildlife resurgence thanks to conservation efforts, famously documented in the 'Operation Noah’s Ark', which relocated elephants and other endangered species back into the park. Visitors can embark on thrilling safaris to spot elephants, giraffes, and antelopes, while the Kwanza River offers opportunities for boat tours and fishing. The park is also a haven for birdwatchers, with an array of native and migratory bird species. Lobito stands as a nearby gateway for access, with charter flights and guided tours available to explore Quiçama's distinct topography and diverse flora and fauna.
