Lado Enclave

Region, west of the Upper Nile and northwest of Lake Albert; area 39,000 sq km/15,058 sq mi. The enclave was originally administered by the Congo Free State, being leased in 1894 to Leopold II, King of the Belgians, for his lifetime (he died in 1909). It is now partly included in the Bahr El-Jebel state of Sudan, and partly in northern Uganda, to which it was transferred in 1914. Lado, on the Nile, 18 km/ 11 mi south of Mongalla, was the capital. It was named after Mount Jebel Lado (760 m/2,493 ft).

Like a dado round the room was the jutting line of splendid heavy game-heads, the best of their sort from every quarter of the world, with the rare white rhinoceros of the Lado Enclave drooping its supercilious lip above them all.
The Lost World by Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan View in context
