Letter from Cuito River source lake

Friday, February 26, 2016

There are seven great rivers that can be traced from the Angolan highlands. These are the Kuanza, Kuango, Kasai, Kuando, Kuito, Kubango and Kunene. Five of these rivers, Kuanza, Kuango, Kasai, Kuando and Kunene, end up in an ocean.

Three pour into the Atlantic and one in the Indian Ocean. It is only Kubango and Kuito (sometimes referred to as Cuito) that amazingly end up in the middle of sand at Lake Xau near Mopipi.
