Bandingilo National Park

Bandingilo National Park

The Bandingilo National Park, sometimes spelled Badingilo, is a national park located in South Sudan's Equatoria region. The park covered the erstwhile states of Central Equatoria and Eastern Equatoria. It was established in 1992. Situated in a wooded area near the White Nile river, it is over 10,000 square kilometres (3,900 sq mi) in size. It also contains large marshlands stretching up into Jonglei state. 
The world's second-largest annual animal migration involving multiple species of antelope including Bohor reedbuck, tiang, and white-eared kob, takes place in the park, which is also home to the Nubian giraffe, African wild dog, Northeast African cheetah, caracal, lion and spotted hyena. The park supports large bird populations. Though a major wildlife preserve, the park lies within a Total S.A. oil concession, potentially exposing it to surveying and drilling.
