Upon arrival in Juba, South Sudan’s capital, you will be warmly welcomed by a representative of our company. After a short meet-and-greet and pre-safari briefing, you’ll depart northwards towards the Mundari community. Along the way, you’ll observe the landscape of South Sudan, as well as the locals, some of whom move around shirtless due to the region's hot climate.
Pause for lunch at a local spot en route to the camp. In the evening, you’ll arrive at the Mundari cattle camp, where the locals will greet you with open arms. Here, you can witness the spectacular sight of shepherds returning with their cattle at sunset, a daily ritual that beautifully captures the essence of the Mundari way of life.
After a delicious dinner, you’ll settle in at the campsite for a peaceful night under the stars.
Your second day is dedicated to experiencing the culture of the Mundari people, renowned for their cattle-herding traditions. The day begins with a tour of the cattle camp, where you’ll see the stunning white-horned cattle up close, learning about their central role in Mundari society.
