Leua is a small town in Angola's Kuando Kubango province, famous for the Leua National Park at its heart. Established in 1974, the park was one of Angola's first national parks and boasts a unique semi-arid savanna ecosystem that is home to rare species such as the impala and African wild dog. The town of Leyva, the gateway to the park, has a small population with an economy based on eco-tourism and traditional agriculture, preserving its pristine nature. It is not only an important protected area for biodiversity, but also an excellent destination to experience the natural landscape of the Angolan interior, attracting a small number of tourists seeking pristine ecology to explore.
