Description
As we drive into Lubango, we find ourselves stuck in an endless traffic jam due to roadworks. It’s striking that this city in the south of Angola is much more prosperous than what we’ve seen in the north. We climb to 2,200 metres to the Miradouro da Tundavala. It is a viewpoint on a cliff that drops some 1,000 metres from the plateau. The gorge lies about 18 kilometres north-west of Lubango. Tundavala lies on the western edge of the great South African highlands. This is where the relatively flat, green highlands end. Below lie vast, arid areas stretching all the way to the Atlantic coast. As soon as we stop, we are approached by women from the Mula tribe, who try to sell us baskets. In addition to the rock formations themselves, there is also a field of enormous boulders in unusual shapes, covered in red, grey and green lichens, surrounded by multicoloured flowers and plants.
We visited Angola on our overland trip by car (a Toyota LandCruiser 4WD campervan) from West-Africa; see our channel https://www.youtube.com/user/JanvanBekkum for hundreds of clips. More clips of Angola can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMYlw_C7EP8KqyTKPnPCZ38MjsZxf_bkB.
