Fachoda, Military fort in Kodok, South Sudan
The fort stands on elevated ground near the western bank of the White Nile, featuring stone walls and defensive structures from the 19th century.
In 1898, British and French forces confronted each other at this location during a territorial dispute that nearly led to war between the two nations.
The surrounding area remains home to the Shilluk people, who maintained trading activities and settlements near the fort throughout its operational years.
Visitors can reach the site by boat along the White Nile from Malakal, as road access remains limited due to infrastructure conditions.
The fort's location marked the endpoint of a 14-month French expedition across Africa, led by Captain Jean-Baptiste Marchand in 1898.
