N'dalatando

N'dalatando, formerly Vila Salazar, is a town, with a population of 161,584 (2014),[2] and a commune in the municipality of Cazengo, province of Cuanza Norte, Angola.

[3] The city is very close to Kabasa which was the historic center of Ndongo, the core kingdom that evolved into the Portuguese colony of Angola.

After gaining independence on 11 November 1975, the Angolan government gave it back the name N'dalatando, effective 18 July 1976.

The city is home to Angola's là-bas sole botanic garden.

The garden also contains a large plantation of tlingera elatior forbs (porcelain roses) for local trade.
