We have come from far… tourism is positively changing the image of Karamoja and we hope that this collaboration with Uganda Tourism Board, NBS Television, NTV, UBC, can inspire tourism professionals and local communities to embrace Community Tourism in Karamoja as opportunity for inclusive development.
NBS Television will broadcast tourism in Karamoja in the coming weeks on national television. We are excited to play our part in promoting Karamoja as tourist destination in Uganda and East Africa at large.

Maria Schiffer, 11th December 2022 – I’m back in Uganda because of Theo, whom I met while working on my book Eating With Africa In 2018. I’ve been traveling along the Warrior Nomad Trail the last week, researching and experiencing Community Tourism.
It was a fantastic week showcasing Kara-Tunga Tours and Kara-Tunga Foundation at the Uganda-EU Business Forum in Kampala. I’m excited to continue these conversations at the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo on May 23-25, 2024! See you there!
