The world's Largest Swamp, The Sudd, South Sudan

Although unfriendly, the Sudd is a wonder of the nature which deserves to be seen and experienced in person.

The Sudds size varies, reaching an incredible size of England during the rainy seasons. In addition to the abundant plant life, there is a wide variety of animals that live in the marsh including many types of birds, fish, hippos, and of course mosquitoes which thrive in the warm, saturated air.

The area is also home to the world’s largest swamp called The Sudd, covered by an expanse of lakes, lagoons and water plants. It is roughly 320km(200mi) long and 240km(150mi) wide, with dense aquatic vegetation which disperses the river into numerous channels.

Occupying an amazing 2 505 813 sq km (1557 040 sq mi), Sudan is the largest country in Africa. It consists of an enormous plain bisected by the White Nile River (Bahr al Jabal) providing huge water areas including Lake Fajarial, Lake Shambe and Lake No.
