AFRICAN PARKS
The opportunity for you to enjoy one of the world’s great, but little-witnessed, wildlife migrations has just improved dramatically, following the news that African Parks has taken over the management of Boma and Badingilo National Parks in South Sudan. The reserves are one of the planet’s most significant landscapes, a three-million hectare swathe of biodiverse floodplains home to an estimated one million antelope, including white-eared kob and tiang, which migrate into Gambella National Park in Ethiopia each year. In partnering with African Parks for the next 10 years, the South Sudan government is showing its commitment to protecting and reviving this extraordinary, and little-visited, part of the world. Time to update your safari wish-list, and keep an eye on www.africanparks.org for news.
