Le Soudan du Sud, nom usuel de la forme officielle république du Soudan du Sud (en anglais : South Sudan et Republic of South Sudan), est un État fédéral d’Afrique de l'Est, sans accès à la mer et indépendant du Soudan depuis le 9 juillet 2011, dont la capitale et plus grande ville est Djouba. À la suite du référendum d'autodétermination organisé du 9 au 15 janvier 2011, le Soudan du Sud a fait sécession de la république du Soudan le 9 juillet 2011. Malgré l'adhésion du Soudan du Sud à l'Organisation des Nations unies (ONU), des conflits territoriaux subsistent quant au tracé définitif et officiel de la frontière soudano-sud-soudanaise. Entre 2013 et 2020, ce pays a connu une guerre civile particulièrement meurtrière et sanglante entre les partisans du Président de la République, Salva Kiir, et ceux du vice-président de la République, Riek Machar. En 2021, le Soudan du Sud est classé dernier pays du monde en termes d'indice de développement humain (IDH) par le Programme des Nations unies pour le développement (PNUD), qui lui attribue un IDH de 0,385, en baisse quasi-constante depuis 2011.

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.
