Nimule National Park was established under British rule in 1954, and the Nimule National Park extends 540km2 along the border with Uganda, with wildlife moving freely back and forth, and straddles the White Nile River. It is probably the most easily accessible of South Sudan’s national parks, due to the proximity of public transport and also the fact that, unlike Boma, it can be reached even during the rainy season.
You will arrive at the Nimule National park offices when they open at 08.00 to get ahead of groups coming down from Juba, and also to maximize the time you have out and about before the day gets hot. At the offices, you need to buy your park permit, which can also be prepaid at the Ministry of Tourism in Juba, and also collect your ranger: having a guide is compulsory so that you do not get lost and stray into landmine areas.
"The beautiful Fola Falls, turbulent rivers, and huge elephant herds found within this national park make it an ideal spot for both adrenaline and animal lovers.'
The ranger will take you down to the river where you will have a local boat to take you across to Opekoloe Island. Nimule National Park is the best place to spot Nimule’s elephant herds, as well as hippos, crocodiles, and abundant river birdlife. Disembarking from the boat and continuing on foot, the ranger, adept at spotting tracks and creatures slinking silently and largely camouflaged through the undergrowth, should also be able to point out zebra, bushbuck, warthogs, baboons, and Ugandan kob, as well as the occasional jackal, hyrax, vervet monkey or leopard. If you have time, ask your ranger to take you to the Fola Falls, an impressive, narrow passageway through which the White Nile flows. Daring fishermen cast their nets for catfish and other tasty treats, bravely running the gauntlet of crocodiles and hippos as they do so.
White-water rafting trips are the latest tourist addition in South Sudan, and rafting the White Nile in the Nimule National Park is an understandably popular weekend excursion for Juba ex-pats. African Rivers run regular trips during the dry season, collecting rafters on Friday at lunchtime from Juba and driving them down to Nimule in a customized truck. Rafters camp in the Nimule National Park that night, and then start early the following morning with three sets of Grade 4+ rapids in quick succession (this is not a trip for the faint-hearted and you must be able to swim).
It’s an exhilarating start to the journey, and whilst the later rapids are less challenging, the adrenaline remains high, in no small part because crocodiles and hippos shadow the raft-like hungry sentries for much of the time. Expect to finish each day soaked to the skin and utterly exhausted, but also falling in love with the wilderness and beauty of the place, and wondering how incredible South Sudan could be as a tourist destination one day if only politicians and wannabe politicians, both domestically and in neighboring states, would leave well alone. kindly click here to Readmore about the Mundari!

The Mundari are cattle herders as well as fierce warriors. They live in symbiosis with their cattle and nothing is more important for them than their cows. As our local guide put it, offer money to a Mundari and he will tell you “take your money, go back and buy and bring me a cow instead”.
In the Mundari cattle camps, kids are doing most of the daily work. Kids collect the fresh cow dung and put it into piles which are then set on fire. Those fires are useful as they repel the (extremely) numerous and voracious flies and mosquitoes of the South Sudanese countryside. The Mundari people also use the ash created by these fires to rub on themselves and their cattle, creating protection against mosquitoes.
The cattle are sent off for grazing all day long and come back to the camp before day fall when they are cleaned and tied to poles. The young kids will sleep with the cows as well as guardians, which are often armed with AK-47s.
Mundari men have to go through a rite of initiation where all the initiates live together and spend three months with a village elder, away from the community. During that time, they must live in nature and stay naked. Once their initiation is finished, they can kill a cow and call themselves men. Mundari people take up wrestling as a serious hobby from a very young age. Every day, young Mundari people will organize wrestling competitions and the best ones keep going at it until they are too old for it, with some clans having some countrywide heroes, Time spent with the Mundari on 8 Days South Sudan Tour – Mundari Cattle Camp and Nimule National park tour is such a special time that you won’t find anywhere else!
