2016 was not the first time that Theo Vos had traveled to Karamoja. It was the first time that he felt brave enough to travel around and sleep with warriors in the bush, and explore the mountains freely by feet, motor bikes and cars without security.
“Ever since I started exploring the region and getting to know the natural beauty as well as the cultural wealth of my people, it has become an addiction to learn and document what I find.” Theo says.
After nine months, Theo flew back to The Netherlands and it was after he entered the plane, that he came to the realisation what kind of journey he had embarked on. Thousands of photos, hours of video and hundreds of stories to tell. He felt that he had started to build a relationship with Karamoja, something that – without realising – he had been longing for.
Kara-Tunga will be representing the Karamoja region of northeast Uganda at the largest Dutch holiday fair ‘Vakantiebeurs‘ taking place in the Jaarbeurs venue located in Utrecht.
Located in the fart north of Karamoja and Uganda, lies Kidepo Valley National Park. CNN listed Kidepo as one of Africa’s best Wildlife parks calling it ‘The remote beauty’.
We’re happy to announce our Karamoja regional tour operator partnership with Matoke Tours (Uganda’s best tour operator 2016). To announce the partnership, Matoke Tours published an interview with our founding father in their annual travel brochure.
According to Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) Executive Director Andrew Seguya, One of the former presidents of the Unites States of America is expected to come for a Uganda Safari to Kidepo Valley National Park (located in Karamoja, North East Uganda).
