11 Days Tribal Tour & Bird Watching

This excursion will take you to Sudd (Bahr-el-Jebel system) The Sudd swamps in southern Sudan are among Africa’s most important wetlands for birds. The Sudd has three protected areas: Shambe National Park, Fanyikang and Zeraf Game Reserves, and the Bahr-el-Jebel system, which is the part of the swamps that will be most affected by the Jonglei canal when it is completed. The Sudd is currently treated as a single site, which includes the three protected areas and much of the Bahr-el-Jebel system between the towns of Malakal to the north and Bor to the south. The Sudd swamps have by far the most Shoebill Balaeniceps rex population.

The journey will also take you to remote South Sudanese tribes known for their nomadic lifestyle. This is South Sudan’s high point. The journey will take you to TAREKEKA in the north-east of Juba to learn about one of South Sudan’s unique tribes, the MUNDARI. These are farmers, cattle herders, and agriculturalists who live in small villages. They live a mostly traditional lifestyle. They are distinct and identify their young men and women by a series of parallel “V-shaped scars on their forehead.

From there, we’ll visit the DINKA, LARIM/BOYA, and TOPPOSA tribes in KAPOETA, as well as the remote JIYE tribe.
