Dinka Herders with Cattle, Sudan In traditional beaded corsets, Dinka herders walk among their cattle in a dry-season camp. From November to April, the Dinka move their herds from permanent settlements on the higher savanna down to the swamplands, next to tributaries of the Nile River, an area that supports grazing when all other pasture is parched. The camps are run mainly by young men and girls; during this leisurely time of the year, young people are surrounded by their animals and enjoy a convivial social life.
