Sensitising Karamoja Communities on Tourism – Kara-Tunga aims at making Karamoja a must visit destination with people at its centre. It therefore embarked on a journey through the region to sensitise 17 community tourism groups (600 members) along Karamoja’s Warrior Nomad Trail.
The first group of Karamoja regional hiking guides have successfully completed the hiking guiding training by Bergwandelen.com in collaboration with Karamoja Tourism Academy. It was an eyeopening experience for both the participants and the facilitators, hiking the two highest mountain ranges (Mt Kadam and Mt Moroto) in Karamojaland.
Learn how Kara-Tunga was involved in developing and promoting adventure and cultural tourism in Uganda’s Karamoja sub-region. These efforts have resulted in the establishment of the Warrior Nomad Trail. A cross-border culture and adventure tourist trail. Through least travelled East Africa.
