Kara-Tunga Honey
Impacting lives can bee so sweet
Farmers in Karamoja are able to produce Uganda’s best honey but are hindered by knowledge, skills and access to market. Our mission is to bridge the gap between the talented honey producers and the market. We provide farmers with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to produce high-quality honey.
By purchasing Kara-Tunga honey, you’re not just enjoying a delicious product; you’re also improving livelihoods, preserving cultural heritage and conserving biodiversity.
Where is the honey from?
Kara-Tunga keeps bees in their natural habitat. We don’t use any harmful substances and we don’t move our bees to fruit growers or other cultivators who use chemical crop protection. The honey is ‘cold-spun’ directly from the honeycomb and then goes straight into the jar.
So it’s raw honey. Unmixed and unheated, so all the healthy properties are preserved. On the lid of every jar of Kara-Tunga honey, there’s a unique Track and Trace code. By entering the code here, you can trace the origin of the honey.
Trace it’s origin
Kara-Tunga guarantees you authentic, high-quality honey every time by tracing its journey from hive to jar. This means knowing exactly where your honey comes from and how it’s produced. Every jar has a QR code that reveals the honey’s source.

What is pure honey?
Pure honey almost never has the same color, scent, and taste all year round. After all, every season has different flowers and therefore differences in pollen and nectar. So if you find honey in the supermarket that has the ‘perfect’ golden-yellow color and always a consistent, flat, sweet taste, then there’s a good chance you’re dealing with a mixture.
Is the honey in a plastic squeeze bottle and doesn’t crystallize or hardly at all? Crystallization is a natural process that occurs with all pure, unadulterated honey. There are a few exceptions, such as acacia honey. Our honey goes straight from the honeycomb into the jar, completely natural.
What are the health benefits?
A spoonful of honey a day can keep you healthy.” Honey is a nutritious food with vitamins, minerals, and other good things for your body. It can help your immune system, bones, and digestion. Honey is also a natural remedy for colds, flu, skin problems, and sleep issues.
