Connected with nature in its pure form - This was one of the most memorable trips I ever had. This all inclusive trip involves long drives and totally worth it. The falls were beautiful, there was no one else that day at the falls and the hotel we stayed it. It felt like connecting to the nature through the Falls and nature. My room was directly overlooking the falls, one of the best view hotel room I ever had. Our guide Ateson was great, drove well, gave us enough information and made sure we are comfortable, took pics where we wanted. I am vegetarian and he arranged that without any issues. Our car had water, snacks, and soft drinks, which was very nice. Rarely do you see a tour company providing you anything other than water. I did Luanda city tour also with the same company and I was very happy with that too. If you are planning a trip to the Calandulla falls, look no further, book this tour.
Thank you Ateson for a great trip.

Unforgettable and breathtaking tour to Malanje. - Etson was a fantastic guide who amazingly took care of every detail during our trip. The hours spent on the road enabled my partner and I to discuss a lot with Etson and learn about Angola (the region, the culture and the country in general).
The only thing I can say is that it's worth it, the Botanical Garden, the Pedras Negras de Pungo Andongo (Black Rocks), the accommodation and Kalandula Falls took our breath away.
We will never forget our first time in Angola. Thank you so much.

Calendula Falls - My wife and I used luzaya while visiting Angola. Our guide Etson spoke good English and he was great to speak to about Angola past and present. There's plenty of time in the car, but lot's of scenery along the way. The falls are amazing! The hotel was excellent, with lovely and generous meals.

Great tour! - Edson was an amazing tour guide! I couldn’t believe that our room at Calandula Falls had such a breathtaking view of the falls. Great tour.

Amazing Trip to Calandula Falls! - Etson with Luzaya was an amazing guide on our trip to Calandula Falls. Etson had all the details of our trip planned as we visited Angola's botanical garden, Black Rocks, and the Calandula Falls. The landmarks are amazing and well-worth the rough road to get there. Etson took great care of us, from arranging all the details, to knowing the places to stop for a clean bath-room visit. Highly recommend Luzaya, and Etson specifically.

A wonderful experience!!! - The road is bad, the trip is long, you will stay a lot of hours on the car, but it's worth going there to see the waterfalls. What a wonderful place! It's really a magical place! So quiet, so pacefull, the people very kind, the food really amazing. One of the best things you can do if you visit Angola.
You also will see the Botanical Garden and the Pedras Negras de Pungo Andongo (Black Rocks). The Pedras Negras will let you breathless with their views!
And Etson, the tour guide, is great! An amazing person! He kwnows a lot of his country, but also a lot of curious facts from other parts of the world and I always felt really comfortable with him.
I also did the Quiçama safari and was really amazing too.
Thanks for all to Luzaya! Very happy to do the tours with them!

Beautiful Kalandula Falls - The falls were beautiful, and black rocks also! Be prepared for lots of driving on bumpy roads, but that is the only way to get there and definitely worth it! Etson and Ivone had all the details worked out and took very good care of us on our 2 day trip.

AWESOME - I booked the “Calándula Falls – Night Tour in Malange” tour with VIATOR. BR-1124812325 Excursion operator / Tour operator: Luzaya. I called VIATOR numerous times to confirm times and routes. Everything perfect according to them. Everything controlled. Although according to VIATOR it was impossible to contact the local operator (Zulaya) but everything was under control. I called the local operator (Zulaya) more than 10 times and got no response.
As the plane took off, the day before they called me from the tour operator (Zulaya) THAT IT HAS BEEN CANCELED, they are sorry but it cannot be
Let's see if you understand: I arrive in Angola (Luanda) on the 12th at 9 p.m. On the 14th and 15th from 6 a.m. “Calándula Falls – Night Tour in Malange” and on the 16th at 9:50 a.m. departure from Angola, Luanda. That is to say, for three days that I had planned to visit Angola (Luanda), nothing at all. A totally wasted trip. Locked in the hotel and in the city center of Luanda. But nothing more.
Are they really professionals? What's more, when I call so many times it is because I suspect something of this, because it is not normal for NO ONE to contact me or pick up my phone. Unpresentable. They have ruined my vacation due to incompetence. You cannot cancel an excursion of almost 500 euros the day before
