Trekking in Uganda: Climbing Mount Kadam Volcano – Day 1
From the village of Nakapiripirit, the five of us and a group of thirteen porters, cooks and Ugandan guides started our 3-day trek to the top of volcano Mount Kadam (3,063m).
Bodah bodahs (moped taxis) drop us off at the foot of the volcano. We find a way through the rainforest, densely overgrown at the end of the wet season. What an experience!
We walk with daypacks, the porters carry cooking equipment, food, water, a complete toilet tent, tents and much more up the mountain. An experience in itself to experience.
Along the way we greet jungle inhabitants and view their huts made of woven branches, corn leaves and reeds. The view is great, it makes me silent…
We build our tent camp on a rock plateau at 2,400 meters. Cook David makes coffee and tea and later a delicious dinner. There is a strong wind and after sunset we crawl into our sleeping bags satisfied.
Authentic Karamoja tour – I spent 5 days in the Karamoja region of Uganda in March – I was looking for a culturally sensitive experience visiting the people of the area and that is was the staff at Kara-Tunga provided.
Uganda made it back to the honorable list of best destinations to visit in 2023 by CNN Travel. The listing highlights the new national focus on community tourism and adventure tourism, with special mention for the National Cycling Trail including the Ateker Trail through Karamoja.
