This trip to South Sudan allows the traveler to spend quality time with the most traditional ethnic groups of the country. We will camp near the tribal communities to experience their daily lives. Thus, will be able to picture this unique world that has been hidden from the World due the long Civil War that affected South Sudan<\/a> from 1957 till 2005<\/p>\n

The country is changing rapidly, with new roads, NGOs and missionaries all over the country. The Last Tribes South Sudan project aims to empower these last tribes through responsible tourism so that they can protect their identity and, at the same time, decide their own future. During the trip we will visit three ecosystems: mountains, bush savannah and the White Nile wetland area.<\/p>\n

The guide will be An\u00edbal Bueno, an ethno-photographer specializing in reports on the lifestyles of the last minority ethnic groups on the planet.<\/p>\n

Discover the highlights of this ethnographic trip to South Sudan<\/h2>\n

\u25ba We will meet the most isolated tribes in South Sudan<\/h3>\n

Lotuko tribe<\/h4>\n

The Lotuko tribe still lives on top of the Lafit Hills and retains some of the original tribal culture. Although Italian missionaries arrived in the 1950s, the essence of the culture lives on. Lotuko tribal society is governed by a tandem consisting of a hereditary \u201crainmaker\u201d queen or king and an age group that changes every 20-30 years.<\/p>\n

Larim tribe<\/h4>\n

This ethnic group, which is dedicated to agriculture and livestock, is related to the Murle nation, originally from the area near the border with Ethiopia. Larim women still dress in tribal fashion and scarify their faces and bodies. The Larim people hold a deeper connection to ancient tribal customs.<\/p>\n

Toposa tribe<\/h4>\n

The Toposa are herders, famous in East Africa for the wealth of traditions they keep alive. Body and facial scarifications are still common, both among women and men. Many Toposa women still wear beaded goatskins on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Mundari tribe<\/h4>\n

Probably, a visit to a Mundari cattle camp<\/a> will be the ethnographic and aesthetic highlight of our trip to South Sudan. Cattle camps are a learning space. Here young people from 11 to 30 years old learn about life. For the Mundari, cows are considered intermediaries between people and spirits.<\/p>\n

Other ethnic groups<\/h4>\n

Throughout this ethnographic trip to South Sudan, it is likely that we will meet people from other ethnic groups such as the Dinka or the Didinga.<\/p>\n

\u25ba We will admire very lively vernacular architecture<\/h3>\n

South Sudan is home to some of the best examples of vernacular architecture in Africa. Tribal vernacular architecture, unlike the rest of the African continent, continues to thrive. 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.<\/p>\n
