Black Rocks of Pungo Andongo

As spectacular as other world-wonder, the Black Rocks of Pungo Andongo rises up majestically over African savanne landscapes. This is known locally as the Pedras Negras de Pungo Andongo, these rocks are main tourist sites in Malanje province. They are steeped in intrigue and history, since no one knows how the colossal rocks, some up to 200m high, came here as their geological formations are out of keeping with the surroundings of the savannah.

Legends have it that in the sixteenth century, the Pungo Andongo was the capital of ancient Kingdom of Ndongo ruled over by King Ngola Kiluanji together with Queen Ginga Mbandi. Rock carvings are found there said to represent footprints made by the fleeing queen who was disturbed by the soldiers as she was bathing in the stream in the foot of the stone.

In later years, Portuguese established a military fort in the rocks which was notorious by Portugal. Its name was then used to scare those naughty children, their parents would tell them that they would end up at Pungo Andongo if they misbehaved. In the 1920’s the political prisoners were held at the fort and during the Angola’s civil war the rocks were the key battle ground between the opposing forces.
