South Sudan Travel Insurance

Boma National Park is a protected area in eastern South Sudan near the Ethiopian border, established in 1977 and covering 22,800 km² of grasslands and floodplains.

Environmentalists and naturalists have been arguing for years over whether Boma National Park is the home of the largest or the second-largest annual land mammal migration on the planet.  Nevertheless, here you get to see the great travels of the white-eared kob, as well as zebras and gazelles, oryx, cheetah, and gliding vultures, hiding amidst the rolling savannah and occasional bluffs of rock.

Juba is the capital and largest city of South Sudan. Founded only in 1922, it lies along the bends of the White Nile River in the deep southern reaches of the country.

It was once just a far-flung trading outpost, built by Greek merchants who wanted to establish regular caravan routes between East Africa and Britain’s colonial bases. Since then, Juba has been a battleground in South Sudan’s civil wars and been unexpectedly elevated to the status of capital in 2011. Although there’s not that much to see in this young epicenter of the nation (especially with the war raging all around), the town does have a bustling marketplace and a clutch of safari outfitters.
