Tipping Etiquette in South Sudan

Tipping is not expected in South Sudan, but in hotels, restaurants, and for drivers or porters a small cash gratuity is appreciated if the service was helpful. In Juba and other urban areas, people may round up the bill or leave a modest amount in South Sudanese pounds or U.S. dollars, while in more informal settings a tip can be seen as a kind gesture rather than an obligation.
