Sennar, Administrative state in central Sudan
Sennar is a region in central Sudan situated between a major river and the border with Ethiopia. The area encompasses river plains used for farming and settlement across its territory.
The region was an important center under a kingdom that ruled from the 16th to the 19th century. This lengthy period of control left marks on the landscape and settlements that remain visible today.
Local communities maintain farming traditions that have shaped life along the river valley for generations. These practices remain central to how people live and work today.
The river valley is easy to explore, with settlements spread naturally across the landscape. The best time to visit is outside the rainy season, when traveling conditions are more stable.
A wildlife reserve in the region transforms seasonally with water cycles, showing different landscapes depending on the time of year. This constant change makes it a place that looks different with each season.
