Biosphere Reserves

Dinder National Park :

Sudan, which is one of the largest countries in Africa by area, is home to many unique wild animals and birds. The Dinder Natural park  and other biospher Reserves strive to preserve this national wealth and provide moments of wonder and enjoyment for tourists by discovering one of the greatest animal and bird kingdoms in Africa north of the equator.

Dinder was declared a National Reserve in 1935 AD, covering an area of 3,500 square miles. The reserve is located 300 miles from Khartoum and is accessible by land. The journey by car takes eight hours to Al-Quwaisi station, followed by approximately four additional hours to reach the reserve.

The period from January to April is considered the best time to visit the reserve, which is covered by grassy plains, vegetation, and thickets, alongside ponds, lakes, and river junctions, creating a suitable climate for animal breeding.

The most prominent animals found in the Dinder Reserve include: African buffalo, rhinoceros, elephants, reedbuck, bushbuck, waterbuck, defassa waterbuck (Katambour), giraffes, hartebeest (Tital), lions, hyenas, leopards, wild boar, porcupines, caracals (Abu Rishat cat), monkeys, gazelles, and many small animals.

Regarding birds, Sudan hosts more than 983 species; key types in Dinder include guinea fowl, woodpeckers, white pelicans, marabou storks, cranes, demoiselle cranes, ostriches, and others.
