Gambos is a municipality in the province of Huíla, Angola.
It is best known (and often confused) for the seat of its municipality, Chiange.
The municipality's semi arid climate and short rainfall levels are the main reason for the draught and famine that seasonly hits the local population, mostly traditional cattle breeders.[1][2]
Administrative subdivisions
Gambos comprises two subdistricts or communes as follows:
- Chiange, the seat of the municipality
- Chibemba
