The Huíla Plateau sits high above the surrounding land, and at Tundavala the plateau simply ends — the rock breaks off like the edge of a giant table, leaving a sheer drop below. On clear days you can see across the savanna for many, many kilometres.
The rocks at Tundavala are ancient, coloured in layers of orange, brown and grey. Giant aloe plants cling to the clifftops, and eagles and other large birds soar on the warm air currents that rise from the valley far below.
Local Angolans come to Tundavala for picnics and to watch the sunset. When the sun drops toward the horizon, it turns the whole cliff face golden, and the valley below fills with soft purple shadows. It is one of Angola's favourite places to take photographs.
