Lado

Lado belongs to the upper Nile country of Equatoria, where the river connects tropical uplands with the broad plains farther north. Fishing, cultivation, livestock, and woodland resources supported communities whose activities followed seasonal changes. River travel offered important connections, although rapids and changing channels could interrupt easy navigation. The broader area was home to several peoples, including Bari, Kakwa, Lugbara and Moru communities, and honey and beeswax from the woodland were among the goods exchanged along the river routes.
