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.

Sudan Południowy

4.day

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.

5.day

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.

6.day

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.

7.day

Kapoeta

After breakfast among the Toposa, we will transfer to Kapoeta airport for a one-hour flight to the capital of South Sudan. Upon arrival, we’ll transfer to the hotel for check-in.

Today, we have planned a walking tour of the capital. We will explore the most interesting places in Juba and its hidden corners. We will visit, among other things, Konyo Konyo, the largest market in South Sudan. Every alley and every stall delights the eyes with the colors and abundance of local fruits and vegetables.

All that remains is to wish ourselves equally colorful dreams under the roof of the hotel in Juba, where we will spend the night.
