Travel with a purpose – Kara-Tunga connects Uganda’s most remote communities with the world, aimed at improving their lives and enriching travellers’ experiences.

The organisation
Szívemben Született Afrika – “Africa Born in my Heart”: Humanitarian development, not aid: One of the most important principles within our job, is to teach and empower people to change their circumstances for themselves.
