What's it all about?
Our November South Sudan tour will get you out of the controlled capital city of Juba and visiting not one but six ethnic communities of South Sudan! We can expect incredible encounters with warm local tribes and to see things very few foreigners have seen.
Our trip takes us via domestic flight east to the Taposa, Boya, Lotuku and Lopit tribes before making our way to the incredible Mundari tribes, herders who live in the wild in symbiosis with their cattle. They are unmistakable by the fact that they cover their whole body in chalk-like makeup. We will finish with the spectacular setting of the riverside Dinka camp. We chose these six tribes as they are not only the most fascinating to visit, but they are also quite different to each other.
*Horn of Africa Combo* – This South Sudan tour will directly follow other tours to Mogadishu and Eritrea. Get in touch for more info on combo discounts!
