The Mundari are cattle herders who live in symbiosis with their Ankole Watusi cattle, characterized by their large horns (South Sudan). During the day the cattle disperse from the banks of the White Nile river into the long grasses of the alluvial floodplain. They return at dusk instinctively before the sunset, when the dust lift by the herd and the smoke of the fires intermingle to create an evocative atmosphere. The evening call helps guide the herd toward the camp, reinforcing the bond between the animals and their keeper.
