Bandingilo National Park, National park in Equatoria region, South Sudan
Bandingilo National Park is a protected area in Equatoria characterized by woodland and grassland habitats near the White Nile River. The terrain supports diverse wildlife populations within this largely untouched landscape.
The park was established in 1992 and maintained its wildlife populations during decades of regional conflict. Continuous management helped preserve the natural resources of the region.
The Ministry of Environment and Forestry managed the park until 2022, when African Parks signed a 10-year agreement for its administration.
The park is most accessible during the dry season when grasslands are not flooded. This timing allows visitors to observe large animal herds and explore the terrain.
The park hosts one of the world's largest animal migrations when millions of antelopes move annually between here and neighboring protected areas. This massive movement shapes the ecological system and draws growing attention from conservationists.
