White Nile

The first one in Top 8 Longest Rivers in South Sudan that Toplist would like to introduce to you is White Nile. The White Nile is a river in Africa that is one of the Nile's two main tributaries, the other being the Blue Nile. The name derives from the coloration caused by clay carried in the water.


The term "White Nile" refers to the river formed by the confluence of the Bahr al Jabal and Bahr el Ghazal Rivers at Lake No. In a broader sense, the term "White Nile" refers to all stretches of river that drain from Lake Victoria to the Blue Nile; the "Victoria Nile" from Lake Victoria to Lake Albert via Lake Kyoga, then the "Albert Nile" to the South Sudan border, and finally the "Mountain Nile" or "Bahr-al-Jabal" down to Lake No. The term "White Nile" may also refer to the headwaters of Lake Victoria, the most remote of which is 3,700 kilometers (2,300 miles) from the Blue Nile.


The search for the Nile's source by Europeans in the nineteenth century was primarily focused on the White Nile, which vanished into the depths of what was then known as "Darkest Africa."


Length: 3,700 km (2,300 mi- shared with Sudan, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ethiopia)
