Wonders of South Sudan
Highlights
Southern Sudan is a new country, emerging from decades-long warfare. In many regions of this country continue skirmishes and often these are exactly those regions which may have very interesting natural and cultural landmarks.
South Sudan definitely should have interesting landmarks – such as unique biotopes, waterfalls, caves. Here are located very interesting tropical forests (including diverse montane forests), swamps, savanna. But so far the information about landmarks in this country is very scarce.
It is known that in the country, especially in the isolated mountain forest are numerous endemic animals and plants. Local people have many legends about the sightings of unusual animals, including a much-published (fake) story about a giant python who swallowed a sleeping guard in 2007.
