Sudan South 2024: in the world of tribal rituals

Flight to Juba.

Juba

After arriving in Juba, we will relax by the hotel pool. In the afternoon, we will be on the move. Heading north, our journey will take about 3 hours. We are headed towards the town of Terekeka, located in Central Equatoria.

We will arrive in Terekeka. After a short rest, we will head to the camp where Mundari cattle are raised. In the evening, there will be time to get to know this unique people, their customs, and traditions

Perhaps we will have the opportunity to witness a unique attraction in this region – a wrestling ceremony. We will spend the night in traditional tents in the Mundari village.

Until noon, we will stay as guests with the Mundari. The day begins at dawn with the deafening sound of a horn blown by one of the residents, signaling that it is time for the herds to head out for grazing. We’ll have one last meeting with the Mundari community and take some photos together.

Then we have a 3-hour journey back to Juba. After checking into the hotel and a moment of rest, we will go on a cruise along the Nile River. We will spend the night at a hotel in Juba.

Dżuba

After an early breakfast, we will head towards Kapoeta, a town in the state of Eastern Equatoria. The 6-hour journey will be a unique opportunity to feast our eyes on the landscape characteristic of South Sudan.

We will traverse through dense bush to reach the village of the Larim people, also known as the Boya. Here, we will have time to rest and have our first encounter with the Larim people. We will spend the night in traditional tents.

The territories of the Larim Tribe

Ahead of us is a whole day in the villages of the Larim people. It will be a rare opportunity to see up close and with our own eyes what the daily life of the Boya, a tribe considered one of the most traditional communities in South Sudan, looks like. We will learn about their rituals and ceremonies.

The life of the Larim revolves around cattle farming, hunting, and fishing. They also cultivate seasonal crops such as beans, maize, and sorghum. Our stay in the Larim village will also provide an opportunity to witness the characteristic dances of the Boya.

The night will bring rest, and we will spend it again in traditional tents.

Kapoeta, tereny ludu Toposa

Right after breakfast, we head towards Kapoeta in Eastern Equatoria. From there, we will travel to a tiny village where we will meet the Toposa people.

Here, we will have the unique opportunity to observe the daily life of the community – their rituals and traditions, including their welcoming dance.

Characteristic of them is also the custom of lip piercing and scarification. And every design adorning their faces, chests, and arms is a true work of art. Night will once again welcome us under traditional tents.
