4-Day, 3-Night Nimule National Park Wildlife Safari

Explore South Sudan’s Most Accessible Wildlife Park

This 4-Day Wildlife Safari in South Sudan introduces travelers to the country’s most accessible and wildlife-rich protected area — Nimule National Park.

Located along the border with Uganda and shaped by the White Nile, this park offers a rare opportunity to experience wildlife in a largely untouched environment.

Why Visit Nimule National Park?

Many travelers associate Africa with safari parks — but few think of South Sudan. This journey changes that perception.

Nimule National Park is:

• The most accessible national park in South Sudan
• Rich in river-based ecosystems and forest habitats
• Home to elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and diverse birdlife
• Located along the White Nile River
• Ideal for short safaris from Juba or Uganda

Park Overview

Established in 1954 during the British colonial era, Nimule covers approximately 540 km² along the Uganda border.

Key features include:

• White Nile River ecosystem
• River islands such as Opekoloe Island
• Dense riverine forests and savannah
• Wildlife corridors between South Sudan and Uganda

Wildlife moves freely across the border with Uganda, creating a shared ecosystem.
