UWA recently embarked on the refurbishment and construction of accommodation facilities in Karamoja game reserves such as Matheniko and Pian Upe to enhance tourism in the region.
Karamoja’s rocks are an attraction too as they stand out of the landscape. They include Kadam Rock in Nakapiripirit, Napak Rock in Napak District and Mount Moroto in Moroto.
In 2010, ancient paintings were discovered on Kobebe hills in Moroto District, Nakapeliet rock, Loteleit rock, Mogoth rock, and Nakadanya rock. The images of animals and people grazing while carrying bows and arrows are painted in reddish colour. “We are now able to discover these rock paintings because government has successful disarmed the Karimojong, who had made the area insecure and not conducive for tourism.
Such rock art characterised the Cushitic tribes who may have come to Karamoja about 3,000 years ago.
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.
This announcement has been long awaited! The sixth edition of The Karamoja Cultural Festival Event 2022 is taking place in Abim district and Kara-Tunga is organising a Group Safari to attend the event.
Kara-Tunga gave a Digital Marketing Workshop to 25 Ugandan Tourism Startups as part of their Tourism Entrepreneurs Training facilitated by the Karamoja Tourism Academy and utilising the UKARIMU Academy curriculum.
We are incredible grateful to be able to host 50 Ugandan Tourism Startups to Visit Karamoja and share the value of Social Entrepreneurship for their businesses.
