Nimule National Park

The Nimule National Park, despite its small size, packs a powerful impact! It is home to everything from swinging baboons to hippos and snapping crocs, thanks to Nimule National Park's lush forests and some of the country's most biodiverse riparian ecosystems.

It's divided by the White Nile River's courses, which can be seen flowing northwards towards Juba - the capital is only a short drive away, and safaris to Nimule can be arranged from there.

However, Opekoloe Island, which is teeming with roving elephant herds, is the pièce de résistance. Perhaps it's the Fola Falls, where local fishermen cling to the ledges in the hope of catching a fish.

Filming takes place at Nimule National Park throughout the year, but the ideal time to visit South Sudan is from June to September, which is also the best time to see animals in the park for filming.
