Quicama

Kissama National Park, also spelled Quissama or Quicama, is Angola's most visited and accessible national park, located approximately 70 kilometers south of Luanda in Luanda Province. Covering about 9,960 square kilometers along the Atlantic coast and the lower Cuanza River, Kissama is the park closest to Angola's capital and the centerpiece of Angola's developing tourism industry. The park encompasses a diverse range of habitats including coastal scrub, miombo woodland, palm savannas, and the ecologically significant Cuanza River estuary. An ambitious wildlife restocking program known as Operation Noah's Ark brought elephants, buffalo, and other wildlife from southern Africa in the early 2000s.
