The potential of tourism in Uganda is enormous. The ‘Pearl of Africa’ is famous for its gorilla’s and chimpanzees, but has much more to offer. The active tourist can go hiking, mountaineering and mountain biking. The cultural tourist will be amazed by the numerous local traditions, customs, arts & crafts.
The Netherlands Embassy in Uganda is supporting the tourism sector in diversifying the tourism portfolio. They organized a meeting with the Association of Ugandan Tour Operators (AUTO) where we talked about the priorities in tourism development. In his remarks, Ambassador Henk Jan Bakker emphasised the importance of a strong Uganda tourism branding.
Virtual tour: Nature Walk on the slopes of Mount Moroto – Get to know our team of skilled guides operating in Uganda’s Northeastern wilderness called Karamoja land. Karamoja has a semi-arid climate what is truly unique for Uganda. It therefore hosts a different flora and fauna than anywhere else found in the country.
Hospitality Students of Karamoja Tourism Academy – Meet the first class of graduates of the tourism and hospitality training at the Karamoja Tourism Academy in Northeastern Uganda.
Bikepacking from Karamoja via Turkana to Ethiopia – Occasionally we meet people with courage and passion who took the opportunity to travel the world by bicycle like our friend Davide Travelli.
Trekking Uganda’s Mt Kadam with Kenya-based Dutch primatologist Yvonne A. de Jong and American conservationist and ecologist Thomas M. Butynski have had an interest for what lies within the forgotten corners of Uganda’s Karamoja sub-region and bordering Kenya’s Turkana and West-Pokot counties.
