18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Mundari Cattle Herder
The Mundari, also referred to as Mandari, are a small ethnic group and one of the Nilotic peoples, living north of the capital of Juba, South Sudan. Like other Nilotic tribes, they are very cattle-oriented and treasure their cattle more than anything else and are said to sleep close to their most prized cow. Their cattle serves as food, a form of currency and a mark of status. I found living with the tribe for three days an exceptional experience.
