Kingdom of smoke and cows:
Mundari Cattle Camps
The famous Mundari cattle camps are desolate places. They usually settle in areas close to the banks of the Nile River in South Sudan. The smoke from hundreds of bonfires covers the immensity of a vast arid, dry and hot land. Amidst that smoke, naked men, cows with giant horns and the iconographic Mundari totem, which inspired the Last Places logo, can be seen.
