Travel to South Sudan

The Republic of South Sudan gained its independence in 2011. Once part of a territory that was occupied by Egypt, it is now considered to be one of the most fragile states in the world today. It features rainforest landscapes, extensive grasslands, and several wetland regions around the White Nile. Although English is the official language, the Bantu and Nilotic people tend to focus on their own culture.

Many come to visit South Sudan because of the safari packages that are available. Both Boma National Park and Nimule National Park offer guided tours that can include 4×4 and aircraft travel. One of the greatest migrations that is on our planet today can be found in Boma, with animals ranging from gazelles to giraffes to elephants. Cheetahs, buffalo, and lions have been spotted as well.

Despite the frequent conflicts, South Sudan is a nation that has many plans. The city of Juba is evidence of this fact. With three distinct areas, it is a good idea to hire a local guide to help with exploration. There are several restaurants, bars, and night spots to enjoy and events happen on most weekends. A boat trip down the Nile is always a chance to explore as well.

Before traveling to South Sudan, it is important to monitor and evaluate the political climate. Disease and hunger are common here, so these challenges must be addressed as well. Contract with local companies for the best results if you do wish to explore this nation. There are rewarding experiences to be found, however, if one is willing to work hard to achieve them.
