The Tour of Karamoja 2022 TOK22 combined some of the most diverse and remote wilderness in East Africa if not all of Africa. The event entailed some of the most dramatic landscapes, amazing wildlife and some of the richest, most authentic cultural experiences all wrapped up in the most challenging, inspiring and rewarding cycling experience of my life.
I rode just the 350 km Southern Circuit of the TOK22, an epic 5 day cycling adventure that included the wide-open skies of Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve in Uganda; the cross-border ride to Lake Turkwel in Kenya; the epic ascent and dramatic descent of the East African Rift Valley and the ride across the desert landscape of Turkanaland (where only the elephant foot tree, camels and acacia’s seemed to blossom); before returning to the greenery of Moroto in Uganda.
I was truly inspired and met some amazing individuals with whom I shall develop lifelong friendships.
One year ago, Robin and Simon were one of our first guest that traveled to the remote northeast to Discover Karamoja with us. A few months ago we received the joyful news that Robin decided to visit us again and bring her father and his partner as well… even though they only had 2 days in total.
“We were 2 friends looking for a small Hike around Mount Moroto and what we experienced was beyond our expectations! Amazing hike organised with beautiful views and villages! Great interaction with the locals as well!” (Read the original review by Eleanor Pairet on Facebook)
Robin Y, Nov 2022 – Kara-Tunga is one of the most unique experiences i have had. So different from the rest of Uganda, at the top of the Mountains on the Kenya-Uganda escarpment, the views are breath taking.
