The Karamoja 4 Peaks Mountain Hiking Challenge is not for the faint-hearted. Expect a physical and mental challenge, rich cultural encounters, dramatic scenery and unique biodiversity.
The first edition of the event is taking place from 6th until 12th December 2024. Read the day by day itinerary.
The Karamoja 4 Peaks Mountain Hiking Event involves climbing the four highest mountains of the Karamoja region located in northeastern Uganda. These are an exciting alternative to the more strenuous climbs in East Africa with many of the same attractions, a milder climate, lower elevation and requires no special equipment or technical experience.
The so-called Karamoja plateau is defined by a string of volcanic mountains starting from Mount Kadam in the south until Mount Morungole in the north.

Mount Kadam | 3063m | 3020m | 12hrs | 32Km |
Mount Moroto | 3083m | 1950m | 8,5hrs | 26Km |
Mount Napak | 2538m | 1800m | 8hrs | 19Km |
Mount Morungole | 2749m | 1540m | 7hrs | 27km |
Local experience: You’re in good hands. We’re the most experienced organisation specialised in meaningful cultural tours and outdoor adventures throughout the Karamoja region.
Empowering: We train and employ guides and porters coming from the local community and contribute to the local government or other locally respected governing systems.
Sustainable: We avoid creating cultural and natural impact on the environment and thereby protect and preserve outdoor spaces for generations to come.
Save: Our guides are First Aid volunteers and where applicable wildlife rangers accompany the expeditions.
