We’re thrilled to host Dutch Fashion designer Jan Boelo in Karamoja (northeast Uganda) for a journey of inspiration aimed at learning more about Karimojong culture and fashion.
About one year a go, Kara-Tunga founder Theo Vos and Jan Boelo met each other ‘Groningen’ (the northern province of The Netherlands) where they both grew up. They shared thoughts about creating an iconic modern fashion item based on present day Karimojong fashion.
Coincidentally, the Embassy of the Netherlands in Uganda invited him for a cross-cultural design event taking place in Uganda. Now a dream is coming true whereby he will design a clothing peace inspired by Karimojong culture in collaboration with two Ugandan fashion designers this month. Beautiful!
Stay tuned and follow his journey to #DiscoverKaramoja, Uganda’s Best Kept Secret.
Kara-Tunga will be representing the Karamoja region of northeast Uganda at the largest Dutch holiday fair ‘Vakantiebeurs‘ taking place in the Jaarbeurs venue located in Utrecht.
The world is moving so fast and rural communities in developing areas like my Karamoja can be overwhelmed and overrun by tourist. The people of Karamoja have taken charge of their Tourism Future…
Virtual tour: Nature Walk on the slopes of Mount Moroto – Get to know our team of skilled guides operating in Uganda’s Northeastern wilderness called Karamoja land. Karamoja has a semi-arid climate what is truly unique for Uganda. It therefore hosts a different flora and fauna than anywhere else found in the country.
A motorcycle tour through Karamoja is a truly off-the-beaten-path adventure on an authentic way. Although riding Boda Boda through the rough terrain is not for the fainted hearted, its’ an amazing way to discover a region that’s often ignored by most travellers.
