The lately trendy Uganda birding destination is our unexplored Karamoja region. Our Kara-Tunga gudie Brian took Mr. Crammy Wanyama of Avian Safaris and his clients for a day of birding around Mount Moroto Central Forest Reserve along the Kenyan border.
During the Birding tour they sighted 95 birds, including the Tiny Cisticola, and the above photo is a Red-fronted Tinkerbird, a woodland dweller of a drier country by Uganda’s standards.
Staying safe off-the-beaten-path in East Africa’s most remote areas comes with a responsibility. Karamoja Tourism Academy therefore hosted an introduction to First Aid training for Adventure Tourism Guides by our project colleagues of UG-Motobike and facilitated by Safety Council Uganda.
We have come from far… tourism is positively changing the image of Karamoja and we hope that this collaboration with Uganda Tourism Board, NBS Television, NTV, UBC, can inspire tourism professionals and local communities to embrace Community Tourism in Karamoja as opportunity for inclusive development.
