Mount Moroto Hiking & Trekking
The mountains of Karamoja 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.
Our expeditions are a mix of rich encounters with the Uganda’s highland people, breathtaking views and unique sights along the trails and unique campsites where you can enjoy the sunset, the stars and sunrise over the planes of Karamoja.

(Read original review on Facebook) Well, when I headed for my very first Kara-Tunga adventure I had a rough idea about what was there to come. I knew I was about to climb a mountain and to spend one night up there. But I’d have never expected it to be that breathtaking – I’ll never ever forget the gigantic views over the endless plains of the valley, dry and dusty, from which the green majestic mountain ridges arise.
Having the tent and a fireplace prepared you just sit there with a warm cup of coffee in your hands while staring into the flames and watching the billions of stars above your head, seeing the milky way, bright and clear. This is something you have to experience yourself because words could never describe what a tiny human heart feels during magical moments like these. Karatunga doesn’t just offer guided tours. They let you explore the paradise by yourself. It is not any adventure. It is YOUR adventure. Completely personalized, according to all the wishes you might have.
The knowledge they provide you with is more than basic tourist information. You will not just get facts about the local people for example but fully understand their culture and way of living.
