7 and 15 Day Migration Safaris

Safari Route 6 goes deep into the roadless wilderness of Boma National Park (the 5th largest park in africa), using GPS coordinates to navigate to radio collared animals.

Going in and out of the area of the migration, the safari vehicles pass through Murle, Toposa and Jie villages giving you a chance to photograph these traditional people.The dates are in the dry season with little to no rain and high day time temperatures.

Safari Route 5 goes deep into the roadless wilderness of Badingalo National Park, using GPS coordinates to navigate to radio collared animals.

Only one or two base camps will be created during this safari date, ranging out ward to find the migrating animals. Bari, Mundari and Dinka villages will be encountered. The dates are in the wet season with considerable rain and moderate temperatures.

1 Day, 2 night Flying Migration Safari

We have arranged special 1 day safari to fly out and see the migration for a few hours, from the window of an aircraft. The dates are scheduled the day prior, to the actual ground safari that departs by vehicle for 7 or 15 days to the migration.

Description of flying safari:

Day 1- arrive into Juba international Airport. Airport pick up and drive to your hotel. Dinner at Notos. Night in hotel.

Day 2- Breakfast. Transport to the Juba International Airport to the Y-12 aircraft. In June, July and August the flight will go to Bandigalo National Park. In Jan, Feb and March the flight will go to Boma National Park. Bandigalo is reached in about 15 minutes flying time, Boma is reached in about 1 hour flying time. The aircraft will not land, but find the migration, follow it allowing photographs and then return to Juba international Airport. We will stay out over the migration as long as possible, but it will depend on several factors - how long it takes to find the migration, weather, weight of passengers and the aircraft must land with reserve fuel on return to Juba. Generally the Y-12 has fuel for 3.5 hours flying time Juba to Juba + reserve fuel.
