The Great Nile Migration in South Sudan is the largest overland mammal migration on Earth, surpassing even the famous wildebeest migration in the Serengeti. Around six million antelopes, including white-eared kob, Mongalla gazelle, tiang, and reedbuck, travel annually across 122,774 km² from the Boma Badingilo Jonglei Landscape to Gambella National Park in Ethiopia. The migration’s discovery was made possible through an aerial survey by African Parks and South Sudan’s government. The survey’s findings underscore the vulnerability of the area due to poaching, necessitating urgent conservation measures. This migration remains a crucial ecological event for the region’s wildlife.
