Sudan and South Sudan Travel Guide

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikivoyage or other free sources online. Until July 2011 Sudan was the biggest country in Africa, but now, with South Sudan having broken away to form a new nation, maps of Africa are being redrawn. But for a traveler some things never change; Sudanese hospitality remains second to none, and for most people, traveling through Sudan is such an eye-opening and rewarding experience. Today South Sudan is one of the poorest and little-known nations on the planet, but the very fact that South Sudan does remain such a blank spot on the map of Africa is the thing that is likely to attract the first intrepid visitors here. And intrepid they will have to be, because South Sudan contains almost zero tourist infrastructure, virtually no paved roads and a terrible communications infrastructure. But the rewards for those up to the challenge are immense. Wildlife buffs are already working themselves up into a frenzy of excitement over the vast numbers of large mammals that appear to have survived the decades of war relatively unharmed. This book offers information on Sudan and South Sudan and its most notable places.
