The only source I can find for this locality in Luengue-Luiana National Park being a populated place is an entry on page 198 of the Gazetteer of Angola (2nd ed.) published by the US Board on Geographic Names. The latitude it and our article gives (S 17° 30′) is close to that of a pan mentioned by Col. J.C.B. Statham on page 18 of the Jan. 1924 Geographical Journal: "Not far from Shu Shu pan was another called Didimbo, where Goold-Adams had taken a latitude of 17° 26′, and I tried to march there, but no one knew of Didimbo, and we never saw or heard of it on the route."

To summarize, there is no town called Didimbo. It seems that Didimbo was a waterhole that Hamilton Goold-Adams encountered in an 1896 expedition, but there is no evidence it was ever permanently inhabited, and it seems to have dried up over a century ago.
