If you travel to or from Kidepo Valley NP, this place is worth a detour. Not specific about the lodge itself, but Theo and his colleagues really offer a special program to get to know the area and the Karamojo people.
We only made 1 Mt Moroto Nature Walk (unfortunately we did not have more time) which became one of the highlights of our 3 week roadtrip through Uganda. Ireen was a good guide and because she is Karamojo herself (and a upcoming journalist), she was really able to give us some insights in behaviour and way of living of this tribe. The walk itself is hot, so leave early and take enough water. And take more time to do a more extended trip.
About sleeping: we were travelling with a 4WD with rooftoptent and I have to be honest, Theo does not offer a real campsite yet (Campsite is opening from 17 June 2019). There are facilities and you can park your car in the garden within the fence. He told us he is busy preparing another spot in town for campers and looking at his safari tents that will without a doubt become a wonderful place.
The food is good, beer is cold and the people are more than lovely!

A few weeks ago we hosted three friends on a road trip through East Africa. Read everything about their Kara-Tunga experience here: www.elephantgrass.nl
Ever since I have travelled to Uganda I’ve visited many places already. But Karamoja is different, in a good way, from all the places I’ve been to. A region rich of beautiful nature, beautiful people and a lot of cattle and goats.
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.
After being and travelling in Uganda for a while, I can say that the 4 Days Karamoja Safari Tour has been my most beautiful and impressive experience I have done here (and probably in my life).
