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
