South Sudanese cuisine is mostly based on grains such as maize and sorghum.
The national dish of South Sudan is Kisra, a sorghum pancake.

Sudán del Sur, oficialmente República de Sudán del Sur (en inglés: Republic of South Sudan) es un país soberano sin litoral ubicado en África Oriental, con capital en la ciudad de Yuba. Sudán del Sur limita con Sudán al norte, Etiopía al este, Kenia, Uganda y la República Democrática del Congo al sur y con la República Centroafricana al oeste. Es hasta la fecha el país con menos IDH del mundo. El territorio que actualmente conforma Sudán del Sur fue parte del Sudán Anglo-Egipcio y después, de la República de Sudán desde su independencia en 1956. Sudán del Sur, habitada por múltiples etnias nilóticas principalmente cristianas y animistas, quedó bajo el dominio del sector norsudanés, de predominancia árabe y musulmana. En septiembre de 1983, el entonces presidente de Sudán, Yaafar Mohammed Numeiri, creó un estado federal que incluía tres estados federados en Sudán del Sur, pero más tarde los disolvió, lo que desdencadenó el inicio de la segunda guerra civil entre las tropas sudanesas y el secesionista Ejército de Liberación del Pueblo de Sudán. El gobierno sudanés permitió la autonomía de la región tras un acuerdo de paz firmado el 9 de enero de 2005 en la ciudad keniana de Naivasha. En virtud de este acuerdo, Sudán del Sur se convirtió en una región autónoma de Sudán con su propio gobierno y una Constitución interina, aprobada el 5 de diciembre de 2005, que definió la celebración de un referendo de independencia entre el 9 y el 15 de enero de 2011. El 7 de febrero de 2011 se hicieron públicos los resultados oficiales, que arrojaron un apoyo del 98,83 % a los partidarios de la independencia, la cual fue proclamada el 9 de julio de 2011. Sudán del Sur se convirtió así en el estado soberano más joven del mundo, condición que aún ostenta en la actualidad.En marzo de 2015, Sudán del Sur ingresó como el miembro 134 del G-77. Sudán del Sur ha sufrido violencia étnica y ha estado en una guerra civil desde 2013; y a partir de 2017, tenía la puntuación más alta en el Índice de Estados Frágiles (antes, el Índice de Estados Fallidos), superando a Somalia.

South Sudan's first brewery closed in 2016. However a new brewery was opened in 2024. South Beer is one of their most popular products.
In the towns of South Sudan such as Rumbek and Juba, Kenyan and Ugandan beers are starting to appear in bars at inflated cross-border prices. In Renk, you can even buy Red Horse, a Filipino beer!
Fresh fruit juices are available throughout South Sudan. One of the local juices is "aradeab" (tamarind) and juice made from the baobab fruit.
The clove-flavoured tea (chai) is very good. Outside the capital, you'll pay usually 10 SSP for a cup. Also try the ginger-flavoured coffee. In Renk, one cup of this is 100SSP (2019). Both are very sweet, so if you don't want sugar or you want it separately, say "Sukar bara" (serve sugar separate) when you order.

thumbnail|Village hut in South Sudan Although the level of violence has subsided since the establishment of the country and the end of the civil war, South Sudan remains dangerous for travel as ceasefire violations and boundary disputes have continued. Guns are freely and readily available to the populace, and it is not uncommon to hear gunshots being fired in broad daylight. Travel near the Sudan or Central African Republic borders is extremely dangerous. Western governments continue to advise against all travel to South Sudan and the adjacent regions in Sudan. Violent crime remains problematic; unexploded ordnance from years of civil war also poses hazards to civilians.
It's a malarial area, so before arriving, visit a tropical vaccination center to get prophylactic treatment and the necessary vaccines, including yellow fever, polio and hepatitis A and B. Be sure to sleep under a mosquito net and use mosquito repellent. Most of the South Sudanese drink water from the rivers, which exposes them to diarrhea and cholera. If bottled water is not available, boil/chlorinate the river water before drinking it.
Ebola may occur from time to time.
