Spanning an impressive 410 meters wide with a 105-meter drop, Calandula Falls is one of Angola’s most breathtaking natural landmarks. Carved across the Lucala River in Malanje, this massive horseshoe-shaped force of nature stands as the 2nd largest waterfall in Africa by volume.

The river creates a dramatic curtain of rushing water framed by dense tropical greenery. It is a spectacular location for photography, scenic viewpoints, and experiencing the raw scale of the Angolan interior, especially during the rainy season when the flow reaches its thundering peak. If you are traveling through Malanje, this is an essential stop on any journey.
