Best Travel Guide To Boma National Park Wildlife Tour In South Sudan
Boma National Park is one of the most unique and untouched wilderness areas in South Sudan, known for its stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife. The park is home to a wide variety of animal species, including some that are endangered and rare. One of the most iconic animals in Boma National Park is the elephant.
The park is arguably one of the largest national parks/reserves in Africa covering over 22,800 sq. km and approximately 2,280,000 hectares in size. Boma National Park is mainly flat and crossed by several small streams and swamps and habitat to enormous herds of animals including those that migrate to Boma National Park grazing grounds during the rainy season.
Animals Herds in Boma National Park;
The animal herds in Boma National Park include elephants, buffaloes, lions, kobs, antelopes, hippos, baboons, monkeys, wild dogs, hyenas, gazelles, zebras, and leopards, and Nile crocodiles among others. In addition to white-eared kob, Mongalla gazelle, tiang, and reedbuck, the park also supports populations of Nubian giraffe (sub-species of northern giraffe), Lelwel hartebeest and small populations of cheetah, and wild dog.
Birds in Boma National Park;
The park is a proposed UNESCO World Heritage Site and is an Important Bird Area (IBA) that hosts approximately 400 bird species, including shoebills and black-crowned cranes. Other migratory birds include the Great White Pelican, Black Crowned Crane, White Stork, and Black Tern.
Animal Migrations in Boma National Park;
In South Sudan, as in Serengeti, migration of animals takes place all year depending on the grass and rains. Between March and June, animals move from north to south and from west to east, from Sudd flood plains and Bandigalo National Park back into Boma National Park and Gambella Park in Ethiopia as the rain starts. From November to January, the animals move from south to north and from east to west as the dry season sets in and animals are searching for fresh grazing grounds.
The white-eared kobs calves between November and January, and migrate north into the Sudd floodplains and west into Bandigalo National Park.
The major migrating species include the white-eared kob, Tiang antelope, and Mangalla gazelles.
