Description:

Small grass huts at a Dinka dry season camp at Shambe village on the Nile. The Seligmans noted that during the dry season much of the village community of Shambe migrated next to the river to live in camps, building such smaller grass huts for the duration. In the top of the tree can be seen what looks like a beehive.
