    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.

    Behind the lens of Ana Robles

    I consider myself a traveling photographer in search of cultures that still preserve their traditions and have been little influenced by our western ways.

    The Dupa, the last highlanders of Cameroon

    The Dupa tribe inhabits the remote Vokre Mountains in northern Cameroon. These fertile lands allow them to live from subsistence agriculture that they combine with some livestock, hunting and gathering. The Dupa continue to make cloth from native cotton. Some men still wear the penile case and some women cover their private parts with acacia leaves.
