2016 was not the first time that Theo Vos had traveled to Karamoja. It was the first time that he felt brave enough to travel around and sleep with warriors in the bush, and explore the mountains freely by feet, motor bikes and cars without security.
“Ever since I started exploring the region and getting to know the natural beauty as well as the cultural wealth of my people, it has become an addiction to learn and document what I find.” Theo says.
After nine months, Theo flew back to The Netherlands and it was after he entered the plane, that he came to the realisation what kind of journey he had embarked on. Thousands of photos, hours of video and hundreds of stories to tell. He felt that he had started to build a relationship with Karamoja, something that – without realising – he had been longing for.
The Dutch publication of Lonely Planet Magazine has featured Karamoja as Travel Tip for Uganda. Read the short Dutch interview with Kara-Tunga founder Theo Vos. Click here for the English story.
Kidepo Valley invited Kara-Tunga for regional radio talkshow in Karamoja (Ateker FM). The talkshow highlighted tourism development and the importance of capacity building with the Karamoja Tourism Academy.
We’re happy to announce our Karamoja regional tour operator partnership with Matoke Tours (Uganda’s best tour operator 2016). To announce the partnership, Matoke Tours published an interview with our founding father in their annual travel brochure.
A team of Ugandan content makers travelled to northeastern Uganda and asked Kara-Tunga to host them in Karamoja sub-region and give them an authentic taste of Karimojong culture.
