The Sudd
South Sudan’s stunning birdlife is best appreciated with a boat trip on the Sudd, one of the largest wetlands in the world. More than 400 bird species can be found here, including shoebills, great white pelicans and black-crowned cranes. Once you’ve had your fill of all things feathered, there are also some excellent fishing spots to try out.
