This past weekend some friends and I decided to get out of the city and went to the Kwanza River. It is about an 1 1/2 drive to the south. We took a boat up the river, it was beautiful. There is not too much wildlife in Angola due to 30 years of war. We were able to see some monkeys, crocs, large lizards, and some birds. After our tour we ate lunch at the lodge, pretty good food. Overall it was great to get out of the city and I really felt like I was in Africa.
