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.
