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.
