Mountains in Karamoja
The mountains of Karamoja are an exciting alternative to the more strenuous climbs in East Africa with many of the same attractions, a milder climate, lower elevation and requires no special equipment or technical experience.
It is a legal requirement that all employees undergo basic fire safety training at induction and periodically thereafter, expected annually in most workplaces. The training must be carried out by a competent person with suitable and sufficient skills and knowledge of fire safety.
Tourism Hospitality Training in Feedback and Compliments Training – At Kara-Tunga we highly value development of interpersonal skills and have had the opportunity to collaborate with experienced facilitators like the Akiiki initiative and the last weeks with Marielle.
We are incredible grateful to be able to host 50 Ugandan Tourism Startups to Visit Karamoja and share the value of Social Entrepreneurship for their businesses.
