Mosiko

Mosiko lies in eastern Angola, a vast inland country of woodland, grassland and rivers. The region is a watershed: some streams feed the upper Zambezi, while others flow south towards the Cubango and the Okavango. Peoples of the interior include the Luchazi, Mbunda, Lwena and Chokwe. From the seventeenth century, communities east of the Bié plateau became involved in trading networks linked to the Atlantic settlements of Benguela and Luanda.
