Kalandula Falls is a magnificent waterfall situated in Kalandula, Angola. At a staggering height of just over 100 metres, it's one of the largest waterfalls by volume in the entire continent of Africa.
Kalandula Falls is a challenge to get to, requiring a 6-7 hour journey by car (preferably 4x4) from Luanda. We suggest booking accommodation in Kalandula first, then visiting Kalandula Falls the next day. It only takes 7 minutes to reach the waterfalls from Kalandula.
The best time to see Kalandula Falls is from February to April - this is when the water flow is at its peak and most impressive.
