January 2023 – Dutch Travel Magazine Columbus created a list of the 23 trending destination to visit in 2023 and Karamoja made it to the list!
Uganda is a white spot on the map for many travellers. Visitors usually find their way to the south-west to see the mountain gorillas or the more easy to reach safari parks. The pristine northeast is still completely off the beaten track. Here near to the border with South Sudan and Kenya, you can go on unforgettable safari in Kidepo Valley National Park. Another highlight is a visit to the Karamojong and nomadic pastoral people who will give you a warm welcome.
Community tourism
The Dutchman Theo Vos, founder of Kara-Tunga Adventures, is committed to developing the Ugandan region of Karamoja in a sustainable way. How does he approach this? Theo: Thanks to its rich and well-preserved culture and nature, Karamoja has the potential to become a forerunner in the field of community tourism Travelers have an increasing need for personal contact and want to leave a positive impact on the country they visit.
Residents therefore eagerly embrace this form of income, but are not aware of the possible consequences of tourism. As an organisation, we feel responsible to inform the population and give them the opportunity to decide their own norms and values. Together we therefore have the Karamoja Tourist Pledge, where residents set clear expectations for tourists. By giving the local population control over the development of the tourism sector, this can be done in a sustainable way.
Bonjour de France! I’m looking back at an inspiring first day building partnerships in tourism and sustainable development for Warrior Nomad Trail initiative. This trip is supported by Ambassade de France en Ouganda.
We are incredible grateful to be able to host 50 Ugandan Tourism Startups to Visit Karamoja and share the value of Social Entrepreneurship for their businesses.
Karamoja is silently Uganda’s best Stargazing Destination. The majority of people live under light-polluted skies, not dark enough to see the Milky Way. But the Karamoja region of Uganda has transparent and clear skies for many nights a year that makes it the perfect destination for an unforgettable Stargazing Safari.
The Tour of Karamoja is more than just a bike event. It is an opportunity to experience the rich culture and stunning scenery of least travelled East Africa. Riders will meet different cultures, see untouched landscapes and create opportunities for the most vulnerable girls in this area.
