5th October 2022 (Kaabong District) – Kara-Tunga Arts & Tours and partner USAID/RTI International officially launched the first two Eco Camps in Kidepo Landscape on Wednesday 5th October 2022.
Tourist itineraries often overlook the Karamoja region because of its lack of accommodation and trained hospitality staff. Kara-Tunga has played a big part in changing that narrative by promoting the emerging eastern Uganda tourism circuit and the uniqueness and diversity of this region.
With support from USAID’s Biodiversity for Resilience project, Kara-Tunga is developing three eco camps that will provide attractive new domestic and international tourism destinations for travellers who seek off-the-beaten-path, immersive cultural experiences and wilderness adventures. Kara-Tunga’s strong relationship with local communities and the tourism ecosystem in the area will enable the company to provide the training and experience the local communities need to support an upcoming tourist destination in the long run.
Through these efforts, not only will tourists have a more comfortable and exciting experience in this part of the country, but they will bring much needed revenue to the surrounding communities and strengthen conservation of the unique landscape.
A team of Ugandan content makers travelled to northeastern Uganda and asked Kara-Tunga to host them in Karamoja sub-region and give them an authentic taste of Karimojong culture.
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.
GZK recently unveiled the mesmerising documentary “Ateker” by award winning filmmaker Edmond Tamale, in collaboration with Theo Vos of Kara-Tunga Tours, that provides rich cultural experiences and untamed outdoor adventure in Uganda’s Karamoja land. This cinematic journey delved into the cultural tapestry of East Africa, captivating audiences with its evocative storytelling.
Moroto visit doesn’t disappoint – Hiking and sundowning in the mountain is a unique way of learning about the peoples of northeastern Uganda, from its highlands to the vast plains below.
