We flew from Amsterdam via Kigali (Rwanda) to Entebbe, Uganda. The next day follows a spectacular domestic flight with a Chesna to Kidepo Airport. On the way we fly over the Victoria Nile, which flows from here to the Jordan!
From Savannah Lodge we make a safari on foot with Ranger Simon and an afternoon jeep safari. The Kidepo Valley National Park is impressively beautiful and it is not touristy in northeastern Uganda.
The next day we travel over endless gravel roads in more than eight hours from Kidepo to Karamoja Safari Camp at the foot of Mount Moroto. During our cultural tour we get to know the local population and their traditional housing. Two brothers steal my heart: so cheerful, playful and pure. They have no mirror and never see themselves. My camera brings them into ecstasy. Touchingly beautiful…
Karamoja Uganda’s Land of Warrior Nomads – National Geographic photographer David Pluth made his first trip to Karamoja and Kidepo Valley National Park in early 1997. It started as a simple picture book and got completely out of hand.
Wonderful Birds Karamoja Northeastern Uganda – One of the treasures of Uganda’s Northeastern Karamojaland is the unique Birdlife sighted from the wetlands system in the South and West, the lush forests around the mountain ranges and the thorny acacia thickets and Savannah grasslands on the undulating plains in between.
Tour operators among other stakeholders in Uganda and Ethiopia have been urged to promote tourism products and services in both countries as a single destination. This development will greatly improve the freedom of movement between the countries and Kara-Tunga’s initiative for cross-border tourism development in the region.
