It was a pleasure hosting the writer Jacob Wananda of The Elgon Trail Tourism Promotion Book in Moroto and gave him a taste of our culture and breathtaking landscapes on the motorbike!
“Set in a mountainous region, Moroto has an exciting cultural heritage, dramatic cliffs and several historical landmarks.
