The potential of tourism in Uganda is enormous. The ‘Pearl of Africa’ is famous for its gorilla’s and chimpanzees, but has much more to offer. The active tourist can go hiking, mountaineering and mountain biking. The cultural tourist will be amazed by the numerous local traditions, customs, arts & crafts.
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.
