Journeys in the Sudan
Five hundred miles southwest of Khartoum the savannah of the Sudan is interrupted by the Nuba Mountains, a scattered collection of inselbergs which rise, rock bound, to relieve the tedium of the acacia-covered plain. Kadugli, lying at the bottleneck of two great ranges is small, partly squalid, partly beautiful, and shaded by spreading trees (a welcome remnant of the colonial empire).
