Malanje, a provincial capital in Angola's interior, sits within reach of the Calandula waterfalls and the distinctive rock formations of Pungo Andongo, making it a base for exploring some of the country's more dramatic natural scenery. The nearby Capanda Dam adds to the region's water geography. One of the faster-growing cities on the African continent, Malanje lies a few hours' drive east of Luanda and has a mild, humid climate for much of the year.
