8 Days Breathtaking Mundari And Dinka Photo Tour Itinerary
A Breathtaking Mundari And Dinka Photo Tour Itinerary. You may meet some of the most indigenous Mundari and Dinka people in Africa on this 8-day photo tour. North of Juba, the capital of South Sudan, is a tribe known as the Mundari, who graze cattle in a rural area along the White Nile. Living primarily on milk rather than meat, the Mundari subsist on their enormous herds of sacred cattle that graze on rich river terrain. The Mundari enjoy wrestling and singing as pleasures, and they use ash to massage their cows every morning to keep insects and flies at bay.
South Sudan is home to a large number of indigenous tribes, including the Dinka and Mundari. Nomadic pastoralists make up the bulk of the Dinka and Mundari people, and seeing their cattle camps—which can house a thousand or more animals—is a fascinating way to learn about their culture and history. Cattle are deeply ingrained in South Sudanese culture and history, serving as both a symbol of wealth and status and, in times of pasture scarcity, a catalyst for violent conflict.
The Mundari are a people from the Dinka tribe. Other names for their cattle are Dinka, Dinka Cattle, Dinka Cattle Camp, Dinka Tribe Tour, and Mundari Cattle. This 8-day South Sudan Tour with Mundari and Dinka Photo focuses on introducing you to locations that are photographers’ dream. The rich cultural history, picturesque landscapes, and lively markets are what we’re after.
