  Drove down from Khartoum to the park last week with a friend. Hired a land cruiser with a good driver. Took us 7 hours to reach Dinder town where we found the park HQ. The man with the key was gone so we could not pay park fees that day but had to come back the next morning. It was $190/person to enter the park for as many days as we liked. The drive to the park was another 5 hours on a very bad road through small villages and agricultural land. Once inside the park it was largely forested and bushy with large pools of water in open areas. Animal life was not obviously abundant but plentiful. We saw various antelopes, monkey, loads of birds species, warthog, ostrich, and buffalo. Lion prints were evident but we did not see one. The park lodge is basic but pleasant with Zain signal and electricity. We were given one wildlife ranger to accompany us named Bilal and he was extraordinary even during Ramadan fasting as we drove and walked through the park around the camp called Galegu. I highly recommend a visit to this park very much off the beaten track and wish them well protecting it from the surrounding pressures being applied.

  A green jewel of Sudan, you can easily get lost in, however, if you visit Sudan, you can not mis this and the amazing villages close to the Ethiopian borders. What a wonderful world. This is Africa
