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.
Africa’s most popular online SafariBookings platform announced the annual winners. Even though Uganda did not win the overall score (Botswana #1, Tanzania #2, Zambia #3, Kenya #4, Uganda #5), it won the most important prize to me: The traveller’s vote.
Kara-Tunga gave a Digital Marketing Workshop to 25 Ugandan Tourism Startups as part of their Tourism Entrepreneurs Training facilitated by the Karamoja Tourism Academy and utilising the UKARIMU Academy curriculum.
