Filming the World’s Second Largest Animal Migration

Filming the World’s Second Largest Animal Migration

South Sudan hosts the world’s second Largest Animal Migration after the Great Migration of wildebeests between Tanzania and Kenya. This takes place from January to June where at least half a million antelopes converge on a vast savannah east of the White Nile, moving from the floodplains of the Sudd and Bandingilo National Park across to Boma National Park and into Gambella National Park in Ethiopia. This mass movement of tiang and white-eared kob is Africa’s second-largest terrestrial wildlife migration, second only to the Serengeti’s teeming masses of wildebeest.

Filming the World’s Second Largest Animal Migration in South Sudan will give you an opportunity to film various endangered mammalian species especially antelopes such as the endangered Nile lechwe, tiang, Mongalla gazelle, and the world’s largest population of white-eared kob. Depending on the planned series you are interested in covering for your shoot you will also have an opportunity to film the local communities within these environs, beautiful landscapes, and birds.
