Explore South Sudan’s wildlife

South Sudan is an East Central African country with a diverse flora and fauna. South Sudan's forests, grasslands, and marshes are home to some of Africa's most iconic species. The flora and animals of the country are protected inside the borders of the six national parks listed below. You can witness its diverse ecosystem by visiting the National Parks such as Boma National Park, Shambe National Park, etc.

The Southern National Park, in the center of South Sudan, comprises over 7,800 square kilometers and is one of the country's largest protected wildlife regions, with seemingly endless swathes of patchwork woodlands and grassland savannah. The Southern National Park has only been lightly explored in the preceding 70 years, making it a rare off-the-beaten-path destination for visitors to this region of Africa. The Congo lion, colobus monkey, bushbabies, marabou storks, and a slew of kobs await those who make the trip.

Bandingilo National Park, a natural treasure of the Equatoria region, is another wonderful place to visit to witness the spectacular occurrence of the white-eared kob's yearly migration. The park is home to the world's second-largest antelope migration, which is one of the world's most spectacular natural spectacles. This migration includes antelope species such as the tiang, reedbuck, and white-eared kob. East African lions, Nubian giraffes, Sudan cheetahs, and caracals are among the African megafauna that may be found in Bandingilo National Park. The park is teeming with birds.
