Sudan is the third-largest country in Africa yet the least visited by tourists. Sudan is also considered to be the richest in wildlife, birds and Nile natural scenery that are the attractions for the visitors. Getting a visa for Sudan is an expensive hit-and-miss affair, but if you do manage to get in, and you stick to the safe areas, you will probably have a memorable experience. The Sudanese people are very hospitable, and you can visit some awesome tourist attractions without even seeing another tourist.
