(Read original review on Facebook) This was one of the most amazing parts of my trip to Africa and Uganda. I loved learning about the Karamajong culture – right from them. I loved the dancing, the jumping and sing. I loved learning about how they survive in their beautiful, arid part of the world. Most of all, I love the children. Thank you for this amazing experience. Thank you Karamajong for sharing your life with me.

(Read original review on Facebook) I had an amazing stay at the Kara-Tunga guesthouse with most probably the nicest pizzas in the whole of Uganda. The director of Kara-Tunga, Florence, was extremely helpful and helped me organize my trip to Kidepo Valley. The trip to the Karomojong village was interesting and a very special experience, so definitely don’t skip that part when you’re staying at Kara-Tunga. 🙂 Thanks again for everything!
