4 Days South Sudan White Nile & Cultural Immersion Journey
4-Day South Sudan Juba & White Nile Short Break
A short stay in Juba with a private guide: markets and artisans, a White Nile boat trip, a community visit and a farewell dinner.
Tour Overview
Juba sits on the White Nile, and four days is enough to get a real feel for it. You visit markets and artisan workshops, take a boat out on the river, spend a morning with a local community and finish with a farewell dinner. It suits travellers on a tight schedule who want a cultural introduction to South Sudan, or a short stop before or after another trip.
