Kissama National Park Part 1// park national do Quicama part 1
Quiçama, or Kissama, National Park is on the west coast of Angola, in Southern Africa. The park consists of coastal savannah with baobab trees, grasslands and mangroves. North is the Cuanza River. The main base for safaris is Kawa Camp. The main base for safaris is Kawa Camp. This is Angola’s one of the most popular national park which can be accessed very easily. This wildlife reserve also faces the burnt of civil war, but under Operation Noah’s Ark its former glory is slowly being restored. Under this project, several animals like elephants, zebras, ostriches and giraffes were air lifted from South Africa and Botswana and shifted to this park. This replenished this national park’s heritage. The park covers an area of 3,845.57 square miles (9,960sq km). Locally, it is also referred to as parquet Nacional do Quicama or Parque Nacional da Quissama. Because of years of civil war across Angola, most of the national parks have decimated from poaching and hunting. Riverine vegetation is also commonly seen along the main rivers that serve as boundaries to the park. The riverine and floodplain both give way to a variety of vegetation which helps the wildlife survive. Visiting Kissama National Park is an excellent way to spend a spare day in Luanda. This is due to the inherent and wild beauty of the vistas down to the river, its abundant and enormous Baobab (Imbondeiro) trees, which mix gloriously with the equally prevalent cactus like succulent Euphorbia. It is easy to fit in a Kwanza River (Rio Kwanza) trip the same day. The Kwanza is a spectacular river which gives it's name to the Angolan currency. It flows some 960kms from the centre of Angola into the sea close to the suspension bridge leading into Kissama park (at "Barra de Kwanza"). It is a haven for birds (and birders!), expect to see Palmnut vultures, Goliath Herons, Fish Eagles, Ospreys, all kinds of Kingfishers and monkeys on a river trip and if you are really lucky a croc or monitor lizard. It is not always easy to see the game in Kissama, but is great fun finding it. In early 2000's scores of animals were translocated into Kissama from South Africa and Botswana to aid the re-stocking efforts after the dreadful impact the 30 year old war in Angola had on the animal population. It is possible to see up to 60 or more elephant at one time, the original number of just 10 Eland arriving with the reloaction programme has now swollen to over 200 Eland as they enjoy the lush grazing that Kissama offers. Expect also to see Ostrich, Blue Wildebeeste, Zebra, Giraffe, Kudu, Bushbuck, Grey Duiker and Dik Dik. Warm Wishes Prit Amrit
