About us
A resort built on the banks of the White Nile
Gumbo Nile Resort opened as a place where Juba could meet, celebrate and rest without leaving the river behind.
Our story
Juba's riverside gathering place
Set in Gumbo on the eastern bank, the resort grew from a small family guesthouse into a 32-cottage property with two conference rooms, an events ground for twelve hundred guests, six river gazebos, a spa and a fleet of excursion boats.
Our guests are diplomats and delegates, wedding parties, NGOs, tour groups and families from Juba looking for a Sunday on the water. We built the resort so all of them can be hosted at once, without any group feeling like an afterthought.
The property operates on Africa/Juba time, prices in United States dollars and South Sudanese pounds, and applies resident and non-resident rates across every service.
What we stand for
Four commitments
Hospitality first
Every guest is met by name. Our team is drawn from Juba and trained to international standards.
Respect for the river
Waste management, low-wake boating and reed-bank protection are part of daily operations.
Local sourcing
Fish from the Nile, produce from Central Equatoria farms and honey from Yei cooperatives.
One system
Accommodation, dining, events, spa and tourism share one operating platform, so nothing falls between departments.
