Karamoja Guides for Uganda Tour Guide Training Assessors – Two years ago we founded the Karamoja Tourism Academy and relied heavily on people from other regions to assess our students. Today we’re celebrating the graduation of our very own Karamoja Guides for Tour Guide Training Assessors.
We are super proud of our team of guides who have been working tirelessly ever since we started. Working to ensure an unforgettable experience for each and every guest visiting Uganda’s Karamoja Land. True ambassadors.
The training
Uganda government and Its Belgian development partner Enabel, are seriously investing in developing tourism in Uganda with emphasis on knowledge and skills of the tourism workforce including tour guides.
In the nearby future, for quality insurance, all service providers in the tourism sector must legally be certified by Uganda’s Directorate of Industrial Training certified assessors and licensed by Uganda Tourism Board.
Assessors
The Kara-Tunga tour guides are the first experienced tour guides from the Karamoja region in Northeast Uganda and part of the development of the Karamoja Tourism Academy.
Due to this training, Kara-Tunga is able to continue its mission to build community-lead tourism sector with capacity within the region.
Maria Schiffer, 11th December 2022 – I’m back in Uganda because of Theo, whom I met while working on my book Eating With Africa In 2018. I’ve been traveling along the Warrior Nomad Trail the last week, researching and experiencing Community Tourism.
Sustainable tourism is tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities. Source: United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO).
The eight edition of The Karamoja Cultural Festival Event 2024 is taking place in Karenga District bordering Kidepo Valley National Park. Kara-Tunga is organising a group safari for those who want to attend Uganda’s most colorful event and combine it with a safari in Kidepo Valley.
This is an amazingly fun Belgian television series for children showing how people in the world live with animals. For this 16 episode series, our favourite Belgian musician/presenter Arne Vanhaecke, visited different homesteads and kraals in Karamoja. The series is produced by VTM Kzoom in collaboration with Veterinarians Without Borders Belgium. View all episodes here:
