Robin Y, Nov 2022 – Kara-Tunga is one of the most unique experiences i have had. So different from the rest of Uganda, at the top of the Mountains on the Kenya-Uganda escarpment, the views are breath taking.
Drive through Karamoja and Fly back from Kidepo Valley National Park. Enjoy the best of both worlds by flying over Uganda’s most untouched region and driving back through the Savannah grasslands peppered with tall jagged peaks.
Near Moroto we privately had a traditional Karamojong village tour with a local guide. Normally, I don’t like village tours, but this was better than expected and pure.
