Great Escarpment (Angola) Halal Travel Guide

Lubango-Namibe landscape - View of the Serra da Leba mountains

The Great Escarpment's northermnost reaches extend into Angola, but it is an enormous geographic feature throughout the whole of Southern Africa. It ranges southwards through Namibia, cuts through South Africa, and then extends north along the border of Mozambique and Zimbabwe. It surrounds the Central Southern African Plateau (sitting at over 2,000 m above sea level), with steep mountains descending towards Angola's coastal regions.

History

The Escarpment is old, having formed along with the formation of the Atlantic Ocean some 160 million years ago. The steep mountains you see today have been shaped by the gradual rising of the plateau over the past 20 million years, and the very slow accompanying process of erosion from coastal winds.

How is the Landscape of Great Escarpment (Angola)

The Escarpment is the zone right between Angola's central plateau (which includes Lubango), home to the nation's savanna landscapes, and the steep mountains and hills descending towards the flat coastal regions. The immediate mountainous drop from the plateau is steepest in this region, with the Serra da Chela mountains being the nation's steepest and most dramatic. The highest point in Angola, however, is Mount Moco, in the Central Angola|Huambo Province.

The largest species remaining are small antelopes known as Duiker|duikers, with nocturnal Tree pangolin|tree pangolins being another interesting one to try and spot (good luck).

Muslim Friendly Hotels

As with much of Angola and there are not tourist facilities of any kind in these mountains. You can daytrip from Lubango and Namibe, or try your hand at wilderness camping.

Stay Safe

Certainly don't go alone. If you are, say, hiking, and get hurt, you could die. There will be no one to help you get back to town, and the nearest reputable medical facilities are in South Africa.

Travel Next

Presumably any visitors here are interested in the wilderness areas of Angola. The most obvious other backcountry sights in this part of the nation lie to the West and south of Namibe in the desert.
