Lantoto National Park is a protected area in Central Equatoria, South Sudan and covers an area of 760 square km (290 square miles). It is mostly made up of woodland, forest and open glades. The park was named by the Sudan’s central government in the Wildlife Act of 1986 and Wildlife Conservation and National Parks Act of 2003. As of 2012 the boundaries of the park have not been demarcated.
The vegetation of the park supports a huge population of elephants, buffalo, baboon, antelope and ostrich. The highest and the most prominent mountain is Jabal Mbangi.
Poaching in the park is increasingly threatening the survival of elephants, and while this makes it hard to attract tourists, it is a certain level of chicken and the egg – without tourists, it is hard to justify the cost of eliminating the poaching, but without eliminating the poaching, few tourists will consider this a good destination to head for.
