An expedition film shot by Marcel Borle during a Swiss scientific mission to Angola (1928-1929). It is mostly concerned with the journey itself, and is of limited ethnographic interest, but during the latter part of the film there are some sequences showing the expeditionaries meeting some local indigenous people and some brief sequences of masked dancing.
