Food Tour in Juba
The food scene in Juba is best discovered on foot — walk between White Nile and Juba Market (Konyo Konyo) to taste what makes this city's culinary identity distinct. Tuck into lesser-known corners like Bari cultural visits for the dishes visitors rarely find. From morning market runs to late-night street food, every neighborhood here has its own flavor.
Juba became the capital of South Sudan when the country gained independence in 2011, making it the capital of the world's newest internationally recognized nation. The city sprawls along the west bank of the White Nile, which dominates the landscape. Despite years of conflict, Juba has a determined energy. The Bari people, the indigenous inhabitants, maintain cultural traditions in surrounding villages.
