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  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. On 6 July 2011, three days before South Sudan formally seceded from Sudan, an administrative headquarters was officially opened at a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Central Equatoria Governor Clement Wani. In August 2022, African Parks signed a 10-year renewable agreement with the government of South Sudan to manage Bandingilo and Boma National Parks. See also
