The Mbunda Kingdom (Mbunda: Chuundi ca Mbunda or Vumwene vwa Mbunda or Portuguese: Reino dos Bundas) was an African kingdom located in west central Africa, what is now south-east Angola. At its greatest extent, it reached from Mithimoyi in the central Moxico to the Cuando Cubango Province in the south-east, bordering with Namibia. The kingdom was ruled by Mwene wa Ngoma (King).
