Trekking in Uganda: climbing Mount Kadam volcano – day 2
During sunrise we enjoy an extensive breakfast. We prepare for a long day to the top of Mount Kadam and the long descent through camp 1 to the lower camp 2.
First we walk through the rainforest with many flowers, ancient trees and a hundred shades of green. Narrow creep through creepy paths (also called ‘the scratch street’ by us, because it results in scratched arms) alternated with steep slippery mud slopes. Higher up the volcano pieces of rock climbing with a view down to the valley.
Finally, there is a long mountain ridge covered with grass, flowers, heather and succulents. At half past one we are on top of Mount Kadam (3,063m) with spectacular views. A vertical abyss and we look from above on the rainforest and the savannah below.
In the descent I help Nelleke. She is tired and empty after a night on a leaking air mattress. In camp 1 (2,400m) we have a last break. Then we descend to Camp 2 (1,900m). Just before sunset we set up the tents and freshen up. We take the time for a good meal and enjoy our long but beautiful top day.
The Adventure Tourism Uganda training modules can be used by anyone with an interest in training others in the skills needed for a career in adventure tourism.
The recently formed Mount Moroto Tourism Association has completed its first action point being the maintenance of the three main trails. These trails are the main access routes for the community and also for tourists. We are proud to see the first action point to be completed successfully with the necessary accountability of the association.
Staying safe off-the-beaten-path in East Africa’s most remote areas comes with a responsibility. Karamoja Tourism Academy therefore hosted an introduction to First Aid training for Adventure Tourism Guides by our project colleagues of UG-Motobike and facilitated by Safety Council Uganda.
