Boma National Park

For years, environmentalists and naturalists have argued over whether Boma National Park hosts the world's largest or second-largest annual terrestrial animal migration.

Others – most notably the South Sudanese themselves! – claim the credit for this wide stretch of wildness that clings to the edge of the Ethiopian border in the east, claiming the Serengeti and the migration of the countless wildebeest there.

Regardless of whether you come to watch the big migrations of the white-eared kob or not, you can be sure the Boma National Park will be memorable.

Among the rolling grassland and occasional cliffs of rock, zebras and gazelles, oryx, cheetah, and gliding vultures may all be seen. Every October, one of the world's greatest mammalian migrations rumbles through Boma National Park.
