First I have to drive the way on the sand road from Sipi to Moroto. I enjoy the ride, despite the dust, and soak up African life. After 6 hours we arrived in the dusty desert of northeastern Uganda. We started in the wonderfully green and juicy Sipi.
Moroto, with its Mt. Moroto has a cool setting. While you can see this typical African expanse on the way, with the umbrella acacia trees and the shimmering of the heat, it’s over in Mororto. You can see the extinct volcano from afar. Moroto is at an altitude of 3070m above sea level. After the long drive through the steppe and the small villages that kept coming back, Moroto was very modern, African modern where I slept at Karamoja Safari Camp.
Dusty road from Sipi to Moroto (Karamoja)
How many indigenous tribes do you know? I had never heard of Karamajong before. I visited the Maasai and other tribes before. now the people of Karamoja are joining them.
They are very similar to the Maasai, but are even more traditional. The Maasai already have a modern life. Like cell phones, social media… The Karamajong communities are largely living traditionally. They live in the northeast of Uganda.
An incredible day, I was allowed to learn about their daily life. They let me into their houses, I was allowed to taste their beer and dance with them. I will never forget this experience.
On our journey to develop Uganda’s new tourist product Warrior Nomad Trail, we asked for input and buy-in from national stakeholders during a workshop in Kampala.
Motorbike Safari through Uganda’s Karamoja land – The Dutch couple Mandy and Peter travelled a week through Karamoja land and drove their motorbikes through the savannah planes and volcanic ranges. We had the pleasure to guide them through our homeland and gave them a taste of our untouched culture and true African wilderness.
