Tour OVERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS ITINERARY INCLUSIONS

Safari Overview

Step into one of Africa’s most authentic and untouched cultural experiences with a 5-day safari to the Mundari tribe of South Sudan. The Mundari are proud pastoralists who live north of Juba, primarily depending on their herds of long-horned cattle. This safari is not just a trip—it is an immersion into a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries. You will take part in daily activities such as grazing and milking cattle, preparing traditional meals, and joining in vibrant dances around the fire.

Beyond the village, this safari also allows you to explore the city of Juba, South Sudan’s bustling capital, where you will visit historic churches, colorful markets, museums, and art galleries. This combination of authentic tribal life and cultural city exploration makes the Mundari safari a rare adventure for travelers who love Africa’s living traditions.
