I’m heading to South Sudan in Jan/Feb of 2013. I’ve been out that way before; but not since independence. Also, the last time I went in 2009, I took care of all my Sudanese visa paperwork via the GoSS mission in Washington, D.C.

This time around, it’s a lot more practical to go to Nairobi en route in terms of both time and money.

Anyone have any experience in what paperwork I need to get off the plane in Nairobi, and what to expect in getting a journalist/photography visa/permit for South Sudan in Nairobi?

Also, when last I was out that way, there were 5-6 flights per day between Juba and Nairobi at about $100USD/person/flight ($200USD round-trip). Is that still the case?
