About Tundavala Gap
Tundavala Gap is a sheer escarpment near Lubango in southern Angola's highlands, where the plateau drops away in a dizzying 1,000-metre cliff toward the coastal plain below. Cool highland air, dramatic rock formations and panoramic views over the lowlands make it one of Angola's most striking natural sights, popular for photography and a quiet escape from the heat of the lower regions.
