Cassengo Falls

“Many still continue to be cautious as they were in the past, as they believe that going to Cassengo, due to the presence of the rainbow, considered “the killer of bathers”, should be cautious”, say residents of the neighborhood.

People interviewed by Jornnal de Angola say that the Cassengo Falls, located seven kilometers from National Road 180 and 90 kilometers from the city of Saurimo, have crystal clear water, which falls from a height of 30 meters into a reservoir with rough waters.

The name Cassengo was that of a hunter, who died after a slip on the falls when he tried to look from the top of it, hence the phrase in Cokwe «Ha ku nonoka keva woma ny txixete, wa holokela mu meia», "Fear and dizziness dictated the fatal fall to the precipice”, according to residents interviewed by our report.
