Justus Kojax Koojo of Ultimate Cycling Uganda and Theo of Kara Tunga safaris (both with me in the picture) have put together a very good challenge through Karamoja. Tourism is clearly attracting a good bred of people working together for the good.
We have covered 200kms of ridding in the last 2 days and just arrived in Moroto. Kylan Wekesa has done his 200kms in 2 days and that’s about 300kms in tarmac in 2 days. Ride through Karamoja and will appreciate Ugandas beauty and men, Teo who is half Karamonja native has done a fantastic job empowering young guys as guides.
We are about 30 riders plus 20 support team who are mainly local plus Ultimate cycling team. Tourism clearly has a great impact of done well.
We have camped through but yesterday, shower we used bucket, and toilets were long drops and was nice seeing my son deal with what his dad grew up using.
I wish i could describe Karamoja in words, you have got to see. While ridding you get to enjoy landscapes even better but the level of poverty needs us to actually invest here.
You see lots NGOs signs posts plus plenty of poverty. People need us to either invest or just come here and spend as tourists. They don’t need free stuff but needs jobs like the young men we are with. Am going to share some pictures but they don’t describe the real experience we encountered.
A simply unforgettable, perfect and authentic Karamoja Boda Boda tour – We were looking for a Tour Operator to help us meet the local tribes for a few days, in the most authentic way, with our tent.
Watch another great video from our guests of Szívemben Született Afrika who travelled with us for one week in the Karamoja region. The first days were spent in Moroto at Kara-Tunga Safari Camp to experience the diverse cultures and landscapes of the region.
We were very lucky that Kara-Tunga was brought to our attention right before we took off for a visit to Kidepo Valley NP, otherwise we would probably have missed out on such an awe-inspiring experience in the North-Eastern and Eastern parts of Uganda.
Karamoja was a travel experience of a life time. We visited the karamoja communities, the welcoming dances made me feel at home, the rich karamoja cultural experience so amazing. Thanks to the Karatunga team for the organisation, the guides where so professional and were very informed about the region’s history. Accommodation at Karamoja Safari Camp …
