Getting around

Minibuses serve the main roads cheaply, with no guarantee of timetable or safety; France strongly advises against motorbike taxis (boda-bodas), and the UK considers public transport extremely unsafe.

Carry an international driving permit.

Travel outside Juba is very risky: armed attacks, kidnappings, landmines, official and criminal checkpoints. Roads are very poor and often unpaved; a four-wheel drive is needed, especially in the rainy season (March to November). The Government of Canada advises against all overland travel.

A few old taxis in cities; outside major towns, public transport is limited. Buses are irregular, poorly maintained and often involved in fatal accidents.
