Immersed in this land of warrior nomads at the Tour of Karamoja – The past more than 40 days have been of little or no rest, and still counting… Despite the unprecedented times, the last 7 days found Brian O O Jonathan and I covering the incredible Tour of Karamoja – Bike Event 2020 ? courtesy of team Kara-Tunga, Karamoja Tours & Arts.
Big shout out to the courageous team with which we traversed this, “Uganda’s Best Kept Secret”. Largely hectic, with some Tse Tse flies action ?, partly remote, but beautiful and raw all through, this journey on two wheels ? led from Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve to the picturesque Kidepo Valley National Park for most.
There was a team from Ultimate Cycling Uganda that rode from Kampala to Kidepo; crazy guys ?. It was great to have Amos Wekesa with us on some of the days. We thought we knew this region too well, but the past week sent us deeper as we were immersed even more in this land of warrior nomads.
Looking forward to sharing some of the goodness we were able to capture in the remote mountains and valleys of Karamoja. Many thanks to the team leader, Theo Vos for believing in us. Alakara noi!
The proud Karimojong people in Uganda’s northeastern corner live for their cattle and women. Many decades of conflict made Karamoja unthinkable as a tour and travel destination. Today, the doors open to a fascinating culture and a folk refusing to give up their traditions.
Louis and Margot are hitchhiking through Africa and Kara-Tunga hosted them for three days on our classic Karamoja Boda Boda Tour. They wrote a humbling review about it on TripAdivsor and continued up to Ethiopia whereafter they sent us the following email…
Authentic Karamoja tour – I spent 5 days in the Karamoja region of Uganda in March – I was looking for a culturally sensitive experience visiting the people of the area and that is was the staff at Kara-Tunga provided.
Memorable Tour in Karamoja with Kara-Tunga, Karamoja Tours – We enjoyed five memorable days in the Karamoja region in early October and highly recommend the services of Kara-Tunga Arts and Tours in Moroto. Theo, of Kara-Tunga, helped us organize our diverse itinerary before we travelled to Uganda.
