Our Top Picks

Handpicked recommendations for every type of traveler.

Booking Tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

💡

Book accommodation 4-8 weeks in advance — Juba has limited quality hotel stock and it fills quickly with NGO and business travelers

💡

Major international hotels (Radisson Blu, Pyramid Continental, Imperial Plaza) should be booked directly or through official websites to ensure your reservation is secure

💡

Confirm all bookings by email and phone 48 hours before arrival — Juba's telecommunications can be unreliable and reservations occasionally get lost

💡

Request airport pickup when booking — hotel transfers are more reliable and safer than negotiating with airport taxis on arrival

💡

Check if the quoted rate includes breakfast — hotel breakfast buffets are sometimes the most reliable meal option and worth the premium

💡

Request rooms away from generators if you are a light sleeper — most Juba hotels run generators that can be noisy during frequent power outages
