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.
NBS Television will broadcast tourism in Karamoja in the coming weeks on national television. We are excited to play our part in promoting Karamoja as tourist destination in Uganda and East Africa at large.
