There is no specific answer to this question because people’s experiences keep varying depending on the expectations. However, summing it up, people of South Sudan are generally considered to be friendly and hospitable.

Because of South Sudan’s historical wars, the country’s tourism has not been so much embraced by the global trotters. However, with the recent stability, its picking and every day the people of South Sudan become more hospitable.
Juba being one of the fastest growing cities in Africa, it contains several foreigners from different countries who have come some for business and others for tourism. The kindness and generosity on Juba streets is nothing compared to the unhospitable image of south Sudanese portrayed on the internet.
Not only in Juba, but the whole of South Sudan, the only trick to leave peacefully in this amazing country is to respect their culture. Just like in any other country, remember the saying, “While in Rome, do as the Romans do”
