Explore the capital of South Sudan on foot with a local guide, starting in Juba, the capital and largest city of South Sudan, situated on the White Nile. Your walk begins at Konyo Konyo, Juba’s largest market, where you can watch vendors selling fresh produce, dried fish, clothing and everyday goods. It is a busy, colorful place and one of the best spots to see daily life in the city. From there you continue to the John Garang Mausoleum, a simple hilltop memorial to the leader of South Sudan’s independence struggle. It sits on the Avenue of Nations, which hosts independence celebrations, so your guide can explain how the country’s history unfolded.
The tour then leads you toward the White Nile, which flows through Juba, so visitors can see it without driving long distances. Along the riverbank you may see people fishing, washing and swimming, and you can take in the views from the Juba Nile Bridge. Depending on time and conditions, your guide may add stops such as Jebel Kujur, the small hill overlooking Juba, old colonial buildings, or a craft market for souvenirs. Along the way you can try local street food and chat with residents, which makes the walk a relaxed, personal introduction to Juba’s history, culture and everyday rhythm.
