The first group of Karamoja regional hiking guides have successfully completed the hiking guiding training by Bergwandelen.com in collaboration with Karamoja Tourism Academy. It was an eyeopening experience for both the participants and the facilitators, hiking the two highest mountain ranges (Mt Kadam and Mt Moroto) in Karamojaland.

This opportunity was made possible through the Adventure Tourism Uganda initiative and is part of the Karamoja regional Warrior Nomad Trail initiative for tourism promotion and development.
