Searching for a 8 Day 7 Night South Sudan safari? In 1949, most of the Southern National Park was covered by tall grass, often 15 feet high, in the wet season.
There are also two types of islands of tropical forests within the grassland: Anogeissus forest, where the bush-baby is located, and Granite koppie with gallery forest, where colobus and Giant Forest Hog are located.
Recently, Wild Dog has been reported along the north edge of the park.
The 8 Day 7 Night Southern National Park Wildlife Safari Tour in South Sudan takes you to Southern National Park in the town of Rumbek that was reported at one time to have large herds of Nile Buffalo, grass that reached 2 meters high, and island ecosystems supporting monkeys.
