5th October 2022 (Kaabong District) – Kara-Tunga Arts & Tours and partner USAID/RTI International officially launched the first two Eco Camps in Kidepo Landscape on Wednesday 5th October 2022.
Tourist itineraries often overlook the Karamoja region because of its lack of accommodation and trained hospitality staff. Kara-Tunga has played a big part in changing that narrative by promoting the emerging eastern Uganda tourism circuit and the uniqueness and diversity of this region.
With support from USAID’s Biodiversity for Resilience project, Kara-Tunga is developing three eco camps that will provide attractive new domestic and international tourism destinations for travellers who seek off-the-beaten-path, immersive cultural experiences and wilderness adventures. Kara-Tunga’s strong relationship with local communities and the tourism ecosystem in the area will enable the company to provide the training and experience the local communities need to support an upcoming tourist destination in the long run.
Through these efforts, not only will tourists have a more comfortable and exciting experience in this part of the country, but they will bring much needed revenue to the surrounding communities and strengthen conservation of the unique landscape.
