A few weeks ago we hosted three friends on a road trip through East Africa. Read everything about their Kara-Tunga experience here: www.elephantgrass.nl
I spent the first 12 years of my life in Uganda, going on many trips throughout the continent with my mother, the fact is however that I have never felt so touched by the rawness of Africa as I was in Karamoja.

If you are looking for a real adventure filled with unforgettable encounters with such a powerful and untouched community, don’t miss Karamoja. – Yuri Blaak

A motorcycle tour through Karamoja is a truly off-the-beaten-path adventure on an authentic way. Although riding Boda Boda through the rough terrain is not for the fainted hearted, its’ an amazing way to discover a region that’s often ignored by most travellers.
