A travel destination that is offering a unique expedition to travelers that are interested in exploring the last tribes of Africa, South Sudan has become famous for meeting the expectations of every traveler who lands in this world’s newest country, having gained independence in 2011 from Sudan.
And the real joy of this remarkable land is its people, and when we talk about people what comes to mind is either the Dinka or the Mundari people with their remarkable cattle camps lifestyle, ladies and gentlemen we welcome you to our last tribe of the 2022 To 2023 South Sudan Travel season trip that ended recently.
This expedition took us to the Mundari tribe cattle camp that was located in a beautiful landscape of mountainous south Sudan, a cattle herding tribe that was living three hours' drive from Juba the capital of south Sudan.
The Mundari people's vast herds of sacred cattle graze on fertile river land, living mainly off the milk, not the meat. Wrestling and playing music are popular Mundari pastimes, and each morning they massage their cows with ash, a technique used to keep flies and insects away as you see in the attached photos & videos our clients trying out.
You will need more than 3 days to enjoy the whole lifestyle of the Mundari people like farming and architecture, unless when you are lucky to find a cattle camp near their village since Mundari are nomadic people who travel places for pasture and water for their animals.
But this doesn't take away the fact that Mundari people have beautiful architecture and also cultivate sorghum and catch fish using nets and spears although such can be seen if you extend your trip to the villages of Mundari people other than only cattle camp.
In common with other Nilotic tribes in South Sudan, the Mundari practice ritual scarification as a rite of passage into adulthood for young men. The typical Mundari scar pattern consists of two sets of three parallel lines, each on either side of the forehead, extending in a downward slope and unconnected in the middle, full information is in the attached link:
