Introduction

Escape the hustle and bustle of city life for a few days as you enter the calm countryside of Quibala, Angola. Our itinerary allows you to explore this peaceful town to the fullest, taking you through the best local experiences, all within three unforgettable days.

Day 1 - Acquainting with Quibala

Welcome to Quibala, a lesser-known gem nestled in the heart of Angola. After you get some rest from your arrival, we'll begin the day with breakfast at the local Cafe de Angola, where a traditional dish of Funje awaits. Ready for your first taste of Quibala? Let's kick things off with a walkabout to get a feel of the local way of life. You'll find small-scale farming, vintage housing, lively markets and warm, welcoming faces. Isn't it wonderful, being away from the city's towering buildings and frenzied crowd? Next, a quick visit to the aged but still functionally impressive Quibala's Main Church, a relic of Portuguese architecture. As the day winds down, enjoy a sunset stroll at the local park, a popular gathering place for residents, where humming conversations, children's laughter and chirping of the local birds form a beautiful symphony. Wrap up your first day with a cozy dinner at Tasca da Esquina, offering sumptuous local delicacies for your palette.

Day 2 - Cultural Immersion

Day 2 calls for a deeper dive into Quibala's rich culture and history. Get ready for an enchanting journey through Angola's countryside life. Ever experienced the earthy smell of soil, mingled with fresh produce early in the morning? Your day starts at the local farmer's market. Rub shoulders with the natives, haggle over prices and breathe in the rich aroma of various fresh fruits, vegetables, and Angolan delicacies. Later in the day, let's explore the Quibala Cultural Museum, a repository of the town's history, culture, arts and crafts. Isn't it amazing how seemingly ordinary artifacts can tell such extraordinary stories? After a full day immersed in the local culture, unwind with the beautiful views of the dazzling Sunset at Kwanza River. Indulge in a river-side barbecue dinner, allowing the local flavors to dance on your tongue as you watch Mother Nature paint the sky in hues of orange and pink.

Day 3 - The Great Outdoors

Are you ready to wrap up your trip on a high note? Let's do so with an exhilarating trek up the Mount Moco, the highest peak in Angola. As you ascend through the lush green terrains and spot rare local fauna, remember to clutch your water bottle tight, wouldn't want to be caught breathless, would we? And nothing compares to the panoramic view at the summit - imagine an endless stretch of green and blues, a true treat for the city-weary eyes! Can an adventure be any better? Settle down for a well-earned picnic lunch at the top, allowing the serene ambiance to seep deep into your senses. By the time you descend, it's time to head back to town. After such an adrenaline rush, you sure could use a calming dinner at the charming family-run restaurant, Casa Velha before calling it a day, or rather, a dream!
