Immersed in this land of warrior nomads at the Tour of Karamoja – The past more than 40 days have been of little or no rest, and still counting… Despite the unprecedented times, the last 7 days found Brian O O Jonathan and I covering the incredible Tour of Karamoja – Bike Event 2020 🚴 courtesy of team Kara-Tunga, Karamoja Tours & Arts.
Big shout out to the courageous team with which we traversed this, “Uganda’s Best Kept Secret”. Largely hectic, with some Tse Tse flies action 😂, partly remote, but beautiful and raw all through, this journey on two wheels 🚴 led from Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve to the picturesque Kidepo Valley National Park for most.
There was a team from Ultimate Cycling Uganda that rode from Kampala to Kidepo; crazy guys 😂. It was great to have Amos Wekesa with us on some of the days. We thought we knew this region too well, but the past week sent us deeper as we were immersed even more in this land of warrior nomads.
Looking forward to sharing some of the goodness we were able to capture in the remote mountains and valleys of Karamoja. Many thanks to the team leader, Theo Vos for believing in us. Alakara noi!
Three weeks tailor-made Trip through Uganda’s Karamojaland – We (Dutch couple) made a trip lasting almost three weeks through Karamojaland. And we are so glad that we did this!!
Impact of COVID-19 on Community Tourism in Karamoja – The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has reached even the most remote areas of Uganda. The host communities used to benefit from additional income through community tourism and freedom of movement for local business. Continue reading and watch the videos to learn about the positive impacts …
The proud Karimojong people in Uganda’s northeastern corner live for their cattle and women. Many decades of conflict made Karamoja unthinkable as a tour and travel destination. Today, the doors open to a fascinating culture and a folk refusing to give up their traditions.
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.
