One of our objectives is to preserve Karimojong Cultural Heritage through tourism and in collaboration with likeminded organisations. Therefore we partnered up with Miss Tourism Karamoja to contribute in enhancing the knowledge on culture of our future tourism ambassadors.
For a real tourism experience, the queens are camping at Kara-Tunga Guesthouse & Café and our guides provide a full day practical Boot Camp about tour guiding and cultural heritage.
The Boot Camp started with a Morning Culture & Nature Walk on Mt Moroto whereby knowledge was shared about the Tepeth-tribe (by oral history known as the original inhabitants of the Karamoja planes). Follow us this week for the rest of the boot camp taking place in a traditional village and ending with a night bush camping in the kraal.
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.
Mata! Join the adventure of a life time on the Warrior Nomad Trail. Continue reading and explore our hiking trips, cycling tours and overland truck safaris.
The United Nations General Assembly declared 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development recalling the potential of tourism. During 12 months the organisation features international sustainable tourism initiatives including ourselves. Read the full feature on the campaign website Tourism4Develoment.com
