The Sudan Natural History Museum, located on the University of Khartoum's central campus, was founded in 1929 as part of the former Gordon Memorial College. The museum features a variety of birds, reptiles, and marine creatures, displayed either live or mummified, with informative labels detailing their scientific and local names, as well as their natural habitats. Some of the early specimens were collected during Sudan's colonial period, including from South Sudan. The museum provides valuable insights into the diverse natural environments of Sudan.

    The museum includes two sections, the section of living animals and the section of taxidermy and plants. Members of the English army and those interested in natural history have contributed to collecting samples of mammals, birds, reptiles, insects and others from various parts of Sudan in the year 1902 AD under the auspices and funding of the University of Khartoum. The museum went through many moves until it became in its current location on University Street, as a goal to educate the citizen about the importance of natural history and realize its value and preserve the country’s heritage from disappearance, in addition to promoting research studies in the animal, botanical and geological fields, and participating in many cultural events and exhibitions.

    Very interesting place with lots of information about the different animals and their environment here in sudan. It's really an underrated place and I recommended you to visit. But the downside is that it needs renewal and total upgrade of it's buildings and it's interior.
