South Sudan is not a normal leisure destination right now. Most official sources rate it as a very high-risk place because of armed conflict, violent crime, weak consular support, and fragile transport and payment systems. Leisure travel is effectively limited to exceptional, well-prepared essential travel rather than ordinary tourism.
