Kara-Tunga Arts & Tours
For long, tourism in Uganda has been focused on wildlife safaris and other tourist destinations but community tourism is an opportunity for the local community to participate and benefit from their natural and cultural resources.
Tourism development is therefore at the core of our operations. We focus on rural areas affected most by decline in the capacity of agriculture. Degeneration of the countryside is prevented and cultural heritage preserved by raising supplementary family income through tourism.
We focus on identifying potential tourism sites and activities, building community capacity through education and creating demand through marketing and packaging.
Karamoja (northeast Uganda) suffers from a negative image due to decades of isolation and insecurity. But after peace has returned (2011), the perception of the region by fellow Ugandans and the international community hasn’t changed.
Discover Karamoja project is aimed at positively changing the image of Karamoja through photography.
Karamoja Tourism is promoting Karamoja in the domestic and international market and is working toward repositioning the image of the region.
The Karamoja Tourism website features information that is relevant to travellers who are thinking about and actively planning a visit the north east of Uganda. Through this site, potential visitors will be able to learn about the diversity of what Karamoja has to offer and how to make their visit a fantastic experience.
We’re excited that Karamoja is featured as Uganda travel and tour destination by the Norwegian travel magazine Vagabond by award winning photojournalist Sofi Lundin Photography that we hosted in the region.
Karamoja Uganda’s Land of Warrior Nomads – National Geographic photographer David Pluth made his first trip to Karamoja and Kidepo Valley National Park in early 1997. It started as a simple picture book and got completely out of hand.
From 8-10 December 2017, we had a blast with an exchange visit of multidisciplinary Ugandan artists meeting Karimojong artists organised by Native Travel Festival and supported by Stichting DOEN.
