TRIBES OF ANGOLA
Oncocua, Cahama and Chibia
Traditional life
We drive over a bumpy gravel road to Oncocua. Experience the Angolan Bantu tribes up close and engage in intercultural exchange. Immerse yourself in the daily life and traditions of your hosts and learn more about their way of life.
At the local markets you can buy handicrafts, local specialties and home-made alcohol. You will be welcomed with a traditional ritual and integrated into the community for the duration of your stay. We will set up camp in the shelter of the village and spend the evening with the locals.
Here they will sleep under the endless canopy of stars of the Angolan desert.
