South Sudan is a young, landlocked nation that shares borders with Sudan to the north, Ethiopia to the east, Kenya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south, and the Central African Republic to the west. Geographic isolation and protracted political unrest have created an unexplored and mainly untouched area in a young nation that can legitimately claim to be home to one of the remaining great wildernesses on Earth.
With its large area, tropical temperature, and proximity to the meeting point of the African and Arabic tectonic plates, South Sudan’s availability of water creates a diverse range of habitats. These include the Sudd, Africa’s largest wetland, the high-altitude woods of its Afromontane area, and its vast, mostly roadless savanna plains.
It is the site of the world’s second-largest animal migration, which includes the tiang and white-eared kob, as well as an impressive number of shoebills and a population of 10–15 million people, mostly Nilotic, of which the Dinka and Nuer make up less than half.
