Together with a friend I visited the Ik tribe in northern part of Karamoja, and it turned out to be the most remote and culturally interesting region in Uganda I ever traveled! Don’t expect hotels and well catered camp sites.
With the help of Kara Tunga we stayed in people homes or camped in their gardens, with magnificent views across Turkana! I can highly recommend this hidden gem to everybody who likes a bit of adventure.’
We’re glad to have met the globetrotters Rinus and Helga that are driving around the world since 2014! Yes it’s incredible, and they are incredible as well.
Kara-Tunga hosts EU Ambassadors for 2nd Time In November 2019, Kara-Tunga hosts EU Heads of Mission for the second time in Karamoja and gave them a cultural experience of the Tepeth-tribe living on the foothills of Mount Moroto.
Near Moroto we privately had a traditional Karamojong village tour with a local guide. Normally, I don’t like village tours, but this was better than expected and pure.

Starting point to explore Karamoja
Kara-Tunga guesthouse is your best hub / starting point for adventures in the region. Great food, good vibe, spacious rooms and cool staff with a lot of knowledge about the region. They offer a lot of options to explore Karamoja like visiting the Ik Tribe, A night with Karamoja’s nomad Warriors and the Karamoja Village Experience.

Testimonial: It helped me push my limits
The Tour of Karmoja 2023 was the first time I was doing a tour like this. I would say it’s not for the faint-hearted, it’s physically hard.
