Shambe National Park

The 620-square-kilometer park spans across wetlands and grasslands, intersected by the White Nile River in a remote section of Adior region.

The establishment of Shambe National Park in 1985 marked South Sudan's commitment to preserving natural habitats within its newly designated protected territories.

Local inhabitants near Shambe National Park maintain traditional practices while participating in conservation efforts to protect the diverse wildlife within park boundaries.

The national park remains open throughout the year, though accessibility varies during wet seasons when the Sudd wetlands expand across eastern sections.

The park contains substantial peat deposits and provides habitat for numerous species including lions, giraffes, ostriches, and potentially northern white rhinoceros.
