Practical Assessment Karamoja Hiking Guides on Mount Moroto – We have concluded a fantastic week of assessing Karamoja’s Hiking Guides along the Warrior Nomad Trail for a future made-to-measure training programme that will be piloted with this group next year.
The facilitator Jan Bakker and Bergwandelen.com will develop a training program tailored to the conditions of Karamoja-like mountain ranges based on the International Mountain Leaders curriculum. The training programme will be part of the Karamoja Tourism Academy curriculum and accessible for anybody who’s interested in professionalising their trade.
Jan Bakker: “I’m very pleased to have worked with talented young people in a stunning environment. This place has so much potential for outdoor tourism. If you are interested in trips in this region, get in touch with Kara-Tunga Tours, based in Moroto. Kara-Tunga Tours is a great outfitter for Karamoja hiking and cultural trips. Here’s some pics of the Mount Moroto mini-expedition. The Kadam pics coming soon!
Yesterday we came back from a brilliant three day traverse of Mount Moroto with a team of local hiking guides, including the ascent of Moroto’s highest peak Sokudek (3083m). Amazing scenery and good vibes! Can’t wait to come back here! Thank you Kara-Tunga for facilitating this smooth mini-expedition!”
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.
Birding in Pian Upe Reserve, Northeastern Uganda – The birds were simply amazing. Besides many typical East-African savanna species (which are not so easy to find in Uganda but are fairly common in Kenya and Tanzania) we spotted many of the more localised “specials” like…
Tour operators among other stakeholders in Uganda and Ethiopia have been urged to promote tourism products and services in both countries as a single destination. This development will greatly improve the freedom of movement between the countries and Kara-Tunga’s initiative for cross-border tourism development in the region.
