Before setting off we got in touch with friendly and sensitive Theo Vos, the owner of Kara-Tunga, a very relaxed yet professional agency, specialised in Karamojaland. We figured out a detailed programme. His website was helpful in getting an idea of what is on offer. But anything that comes to your mind is possible.
We had a great, experienced and steady driver Fred with us who tries to adapt to who you are. We became friends on the way.
Even on the way we could make some changes in our programme, like staying a bit longer where we really liked it. It’s really as you like, and it’s always safety first.
Kara-Tunga is no budget tourorganisation such as you can find in areas of Uganda and other African countries which are overwhelmed and spoilt by mass-tourism. But prices are very reasonable and it gives the opportunity to travel to get a solid impression of life and traditions in this unique part of the world. Kara-Tunga works with local guides who speak the local languages which is very useful. And they support social projects so that many local people benefit from the early steps of tourism in this region.
We thoroughly recommend Kara-Tunga for a tailormade trip through Karamojaland with Pian Upe nature reserve in the south and Kidepo NP in the north. It’s also possible to to fix just a few days with them on your trip through all of Uganda.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Tour of Karamoja 2023. It was an experience to treasure! I love it, but much more so after I had finished the Southern Circuit. It was tough. I really like the tour for the following reasons:
Exploring Lake Turkana for the Warrior Nomad Trail – Dutch Photographer Jesse Simonis and Kara-Tunga travelled to the west of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya to explore possibilities of including worlds largest desert lake on the Warrior Nomad Trail map.
Bicycle Tour through Karamoja – I was in Moroto for work and decided to stay with Kara Tunga Guest House for the weekend. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds and hot showers.
