Sudan is known for it’s barren landscapes and people succumb to it everyday. But they are not the only victims. Camels litter the highway in what is dubbed the “Camel Highway” in Central Sudan.
One day while we were cycling through the Sudan, we cam across an eerie site. Dead camels were strewn beside the highway buried in the desert sand. Their decaying corpses littered the desert for several kms as we cycled by.We had heard that as camel caravans walk through the desert some camels are not strong enough to make it. They are left to be engulfed by the great Nubian Desert sands.
We awoke bright and early to catch our tour to the desert. We were excited to be on our way. A camel safari was a big item on our list of adventures that we wanted to do in India. The day was bright and sunny and we drove out 30 km towards the Pakistan Border. We were happy to see that we had 4 camels and two guides. That is until our jeep left.
