How Much Does It Cost to Ship from Kenya to South Sudan?

The cost of shipping depends on the weight, volume, and type of cargo. Wakah Logistics has designed competitive rates for businesses and individuals:

1–5 kg → $15 flat rate

5- 300 kg→ $ 4 per kg

300-1000kg→$ 3 per kg

1001 kg to 10 Metric Tons → $2 per kilogram

Full Truck Load (FTL) → $3,000 per truck

Road vs Air Shipping

Road Freight: Most shipments move by road through border points like Nimule, Nadapal or Elegu. Rates are based on weight or volume, whichever is higher.

Air Freight: For urgent cargo, Wakah also offers air shipping to Juba, ideal for sensitive documents, pharmaceuticals, or high-value goods. Air rates are higher but guarantee faster delivery.

Minimum Charges

A minimum fee applies for small parcels, ensuring your items are handled with the same care as larger shipments.

Door-to-Door Delivery

For customers in South Sudan who want maximum convenience, Wakah offers door-to-door services, with additional charges depending on the delivery address in Juba or other towns.

With these flexible options, Wakah ensures affordable and transparent shipping rates from Kenya to South Sudan.

How Long Does Delivery to South Sudan Take?

Delivery timelines depend on the mode of transport and customs clearance speed.

By Road: 3–7 days. Most cargo reaches Juba within this timeframe once cleared at the border.

By Air: 1–2 days. Air cargo reaches South Sudan faster, though customs checks may extend the process.

Factors such as border traffic, customs inspections, and road conditions may influence timelines. Wakah Logistics prioritizes fast clearance and safe transit to minimize delays.
