Kissama National Park, just 70km south of Luanda, is Angola's conservation success story. After decades of conflict, Operation Noah's Ark — one of Africa's most ambitious wildlife relocation projects — brought elephants from Botswana, giraffes from South Africa, and other species to rebuild the park's wildlife populations.
Today, Kissama is a growing wilderness with elephants, buffalo, palanca (sable antelope), manatees in the Kwanza River, and a rich diversity of birdlife. Game drives take you through tropical savanna and gallery forest, with the mighty Kwanza River as a backdrop.
