About Nimule National Park

Nimule National Park
 

Located in the southern part of South Sudan, Nimule National Park is a key conservation area that covers approximately 245 square miles. The park is predominantly made up of savannah and woodland ecosystems, providing a habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, giraffes, and numerous bird species. Established in 1954, its proximity to the White Nile River adds to the scenic beauty and ecological diversity of the area. Historically, the park has been a refuge for wildlife and a source of natural beauty as well as cultural significance to local communities. One of the more appealing aspects for visitors is the opportunity for wildlife viewing along the riverfront, where animals come to drink and graze. Additionally, Nimule offers historical landmarks such as remnants from the colonial era, and it's an excellent spot for bird watching. Despite the challenges of political instability in the region, the park remains a significant natural asset and a destination for adventurous travelers.
