Untamed Nile: Where Africa’s Biggest Lake Meets Its Longest River

The Ultimate River, the Nile, feeds the massive Lake Victoria, giving a home to some of Africa’s most impressive water wildlife.

🦛 Thousands of hippos enjoy the water. In the afternoons, elephant herds leave the savannah to drink and bathe. At the river banks, you can witness a curious partnership. Female crocodiles and tiny birds defend their eggs together against a thief, the Nile Monitor.

🏞️ The Nile’s greatest wilderness is situated in South Sudan, where the river turns into the Sudd, Africa’s largest swamp. This is the perfect habitat for a fantastic variety of bird species, among them the extremely rare Shoebill. Giants, too, can make a living here. Some four hundred elephants live among the papyrus.

The Nile’s waters give life to some of the most incredible nature on the planet.
