BikePacking Karamoja Uganda – We have organized our tour through Kara-Tunga. This is in Moroto and our contact person is Theo Vos. He was born and raised in the Netherlands but left for Uganda when his mother, originally Karamajong, returned to Uganda. Now he is trying to generate income for the region through tourism. Their hotel is our base. Here we are picked up by Joelle, our driver for four days.

The proud Karimojong people in Uganda’s northeastern corner live for their cattle and women. Many decades of conflict made Karamoja unthinkable as a tour and travel destination. Today, the doors open to a fascinating culture and a folk refusing to give up their traditions.
