The trip comprises door to door transport (Luanda city, Talatona and Benfica) to and from the park (some 90kms tar, 40 kms dirt roads each way plus safari) in specialist open topped 4x4 game viewing vehicles, bilingual driver guides, vehicles are fully equipped with opening roofs, 1st aid kit, twin spares, satellite phone etc. As well as a River trip. Rough itinerary; The day usually starts with a 6 a.m. pick up in Luanda City (06h30 in Talatona). We drive south via a rest stop at the Miradouro de Lua ("Lunar Viewpoint") at about “Km 52”, and then we drive a little further to the Kwanza River Lodge where a hearty breakfast awaits us, this is served on a lovely wooden deck on the riverfront. We then descend to the river to take the 1.5 - 2 hour River Trip, on this trip we expect to see we “blue” monkeys, close up viewing of various birds including beautiful kingfishers and majestic fish eagles, goliath herons and palm-nut vultures. We may even be lucky enough to see a crocodile. We will also have a glimpse into the lives of families along the river. Arriving back at the lodge we have a short time to enjoy the pool and river before a buffet lunch is served*. We then transfer across the Kwanza Bridge into the park and after a short off-road drive, we arrive at Kawa Camp and pick up a game ranger to undertake our game drive. *occasionally the river trip and lunch may take place at Kawa Camp in the park.
