Why Choose South Sudan For Your Tour
South Sudan, Africa’s youngest country (independent since 2011), holds some of the most extraordinary and least-documented wildlife in Africa: the Sudd wetland, one of the world’s largest tropical wetlands covering 30,000 to 130,000 square kilometres seasonally, and home to the famous White-eared Kob migration, the largest mammal migration in Africa after the East African wildebeest, with over a million kob, tiang (Topi), and Mongalla gazelle moving across the floodplains. The Boma-Badingilo migration is one of Africa’s great undocumented wildlife events. Specialist wildlife expedition costs are approximately $400 to $700 per person per day.
Critical safety note for 2026: South Sudan has experienced devastating civil conflict from 2013 to 2018 and ongoing insecurity since, with most Western government travel advisories carrying “do not travel” or “reconsider travel” ratings for most of the country. The security situation remains highly variable. Very limited specialist wildlife tourism has operated with armed escort in specific areas in some years. Monitor advisories closely; South Sudan is not a destination for independent or inexperienced travellers under current conditions.
South Sudan's extraordinary wildlife heritage, including the largest
South Sudan’s extraordinary wildlife heritage, including the largest mammal migration in Africa that remains largely undocumented by international wildlife photography, represents a significant unrealised tourism potential. When conditions stabilise sufficiently, specialist operators with armed escort capabilities and current in-country intelligence will be the only viable gateway for the first wave of returning visitors. Monitor closely.
