4-Days Nimule National Park Wildlife Safari Tour
This 4-Day, 3-Night Nimule National Park Wildlife Safari Tour offers a unique opportunity to experience South Sudan's wildlife in its raw, untouched form. While South Sudan is often associated with cultural tourism, this tour provides an exciting chance to explore one of the country's most accessible and wildlife-rich national parks. Nimule National Park, located along the border with Uganda, is home to elephants, hippos, crocodiles, diverse birdlife, and other wildlife. Established in 1954 under British colonial rule, the park covers 540 km² and straddles the White Nile River, where wildlife moves freely between South Sudan and Uganda. Visitors can embark on a riverboat safari to Opekoloe Island, trek through the park to spot wildlife on foot, and enjoy the park's stunning natural beauty.
