A rare glimpse of the Nile Lechwe, one of the world's most remarkable and endangered antelope species, roaming freely through the Great Nile Migratory Landscape and the vast Sudd Wetland: Africa's largest swamp, right here in South Sudan. 🇸🇸 A living treasure of South Sudan's extraordinary natural heritage! 🦌🌍

The largest land mammal migration on Earth isn’t the Serengeti. It’s the Great Nile Migration in South Sudan ~6 million white-eared kob, tiang, Mongalla gazelle & reedbuck moving across a landscape bigger than many countries. Hidden for decades. Now mapped, protected, and a UNESCO site. Nature’s greatest secret is finally out. 🌍🦌 #GreatNileMigration #SouthSudan

We landed the chopper 🚁 on top of a mountain ⛰️ and had a coffee stop over in just close to the Kangen River. It flows and joins the Pibor River, which is part of the Sobat River basin feeding into the White Nile. The riverbanks around the Kangen and Boma National Park are famous for massive seasonal wildlife migrations, notably large herds of white-eared kobs. Jani the Boma Park Manager also was in charge of brewing our coffee ☕️

One rule about warfare is if you draw your gun at abother man, be sure that you pull the trigger otherwise you might get your ass smoked. Just do your background check, let me give you a lead. Go to the Ministry of Wildlife Conservation and Tourism in Jebel Lemon, ask for the Directorate of Tourism office and just say my name in there and then ask your questions. I wont send you to other places. If you successfully get that info from there let me know I send you somewhere else.
Your mouth has placed you on the radar buddy. Now we're going to do a proper background check on your activities here in South Sudan. Whether you have the right documents and wether you abide by the community's guidelines and regulations #ssox #southsudan

Who would ask a bribe from Larry Madowo?🤣🤣
Nobody asked me for a bribe at the Harare airport. In fact, they were quite nice and welcoming

One thing I will always thank my parents for is raising me not to be a coward. They taught me survival skills and made sure I could stand on my own. I can cook, wash, clean and pretty much take care of myself. I have always seen @GODFREY_Kutesa doing this with kids online, and I remember that at their age, I used to think my parents were punishing me. But today, I sit back and appreciate those lessons. What felt like punishment back then was actually preparation for life. Today I am cooking Ugandan meat and Irish Katogo , actually in the 5 days I eaten Kenyan food once

You can say all the shit and trash you want about me, but one thing you will never take away is the work I am putting in to contribute to the future of South Sudan. 🇸🇸 I don't want to brag, neither am I looking for applause. But while some people are busy criticising me because they consider me a foreigner, I am busy building something that I believe will create employment opportunities for thousands of South Sudanese through the tourism sector. I am investing my time, energy, creativity, resources and networks into positioning South Sudan as one of Africa's most extraordinary tourism destinations. From promoting the Great Nile Migration and the Boma-Badingilo National Parks to developing helicopter safari experiences, marketing our natural heritage internationally, promoting tourist camps and building tourism partnerships, I am working to create opportunities that go beyond social media posts and beautiful photographs. My vision is bigger than tourism promotion. It is about building an industry that can create opportunities for tour guides, drivers, pilots, photographers, conservationists, park rangers, hospitality workers, local communities, entrepreneurs and thousands of young people who deserve a chance to earn a living from the incredible natural heritage this country possesses. I am proud that institutions such as African Parks and government institutions, including the Ministry of Wildlife Conservation and Tourism, recognise the complexity and importance of this work. Their trust and the responsibilities entrusted to me have given me opportunities to represent and promote South Sudan's tourism potential, including on international platforms. And let me make one thing clear: I don't need to be born in a country to recognise its potential, respect its people or contribute meaningfully to its development. I am a patriotic Ugandan and a proud friend and supporter of South Sudan. My connection to this country goes beyond business interests. I see enormous potential in its people, wildlife, landscapes and future. Perhaps tomorrow I will no longer be physically present in South Sudan. Perhaps I will move on to other adventures. But I want to leave behind something tangible: opportunities created, partnerships established, destinations discovered, young people empowered and a tourism sector that is stronger than I found it. I am not here to compete with anyone, prove my nationality or seek validation from critics. I am a visionary. I am a builder. And I would rather spend my time building something that benefits thousands of people than spend it arguing with a handful of critics. History will not remember how loudly we criticised one another. It will remember what we contributed. My work continues. 🇸🇸🌍

A country's hashtag community on X serves as a centralized digital square where citizens share news, debate national issues, mobilize for action and connect for business. I'll take you through distinct risks of having a foreigner claim to be the voice of such a forum🧵#ssox

I havent seen a retarded person in my life like you. Why dont you carry your crack head to the Ministry of wildlife and ask them to fire me.
How did the ministry of tourism go with that fake south sudanese ugandan 🇺🇬to great Nile migration instead of you? You do a nice job showcasing our country🇸🇸 #ssox #ssot #southsudan

Listen son, I am more South Sudanese than your crack ass. Just read my portfolio.
#ssox Who is this man and why does he claim to lead us here on a South Sudanese platform? What's his motive in Junub? Can he do the same to the Kenyan or Rwandan platform?Does he think alittle less of us? You're welcome to our country but you must respect our Nation! #southsudan

I will quote a Scripture for you. “[3] “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? [4] How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? [5] You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:3-5 NIV
Ugly women with confidence is a danger to society.

How do you accuse a MonyMundari of being foreigner?
A Ugandan man claiming to lead South Sudan community on X is belittling and offensive. Others are joking about it as if it's a laughing matter. Can a South Sudan claim to be UgandanX president?Be uox president and leave South Sudan matters to south sudanese #ssox #southsudan

Lake Kamunzuku — the only transparent lake in Uganda and one of the hidden natural treasures in the western tourism circuit. I often feel concerned when tourists visit Uganda and return to their countries with over 60% of the money they had planned to spend. The only way we can fully benefit from tourism is by creating more opportunities, experiences, and activities that encourage visitors to engage longer with our communities and leave more value behind. From cultural experiences, guided community walks, local craft markets, storytelling, camping, boat rides, birding, entertainment, and food tourism every activity created around destinations like Lake Kamunzuku becomes an opportunity for local people to earn, grow businesses, and improve livelihoods. @JulianaKag52265 @Ronkawamara @RMalango2021
