Before its independence in 2011, South Sudan had been part of Greater Sudan and previously a region called Equatoria, ruled by the British. It was during colonization that this part of West Africa was declared a "Closed District". From 1916 to 1946, no roads, Western education, hospitals, or missions were allowed in that territory. These 30 years of isolation explain, in part, why we find tribal structures and traditions that have been lost in most of Africa. South Sudan is unique for its tribes, its wild and unspoiled nature and its unyielding spirit. The giant Dinka, Nuer and Mundari cattle camps are already a traveler myth.

The most isolated tribes of Africa

In South Sudan we will find the most unspoiled cultures in all of East Africa. There, the iconic Dinka and Mundari still live in their cattle camps and the incredible Larim women continue to scarify their bodies and faces.

Vernacular architecture still very alive

South Sudan is home to some of the best examples of vernacular architecture in Africa. Vernacular tribal architecture, unlike the rest of the African continent, continues to thrive in South Sudan. This is due to the fact that most tribes still live far from the globalizing currents and economic changes that have affected most African societies.

    Behind the lens of Elena Molina

    Art, in any of its manifestations, has always been present in my life. But not least my passion for travel. Shortly after discovering Last Places, I was part of one of his expeditions. It was an amazing trip!

    The Larim tribe of South Sudan, artisans of the hills

    The Larim, known to their Toposa neighbors as Boyas, split from the great Murle nation after an argument over dinner. One Murle clan had invited another clan, but the other clan was not satisfied by how little gazelle meat was in the soup. They were offended and decided to migrate west. They settled in a mountainous area with plenty of water and fertile land. This is how the Larim tribe emerged, one of the most beautiful and unknown in South Sudan.

    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.
