Together with my friendliest and happiest tent mate ever, Anja is her name, I wake up from the smoke (air) from the dining tent / hut. The breakfast consisting of omelette, wraps, bread with banana & sugar and porridge tastes very good. Thank you Robert! ?
We follow Sipi-Trail and rise from three thousand meters, via mountain ridges and riverbeds, to an altitude of 3,900 meters. There we reach the caldera ridge of the extinct volcano Mount Elgon. A breathtakingly beautiful and wide area.
Tomorrow we climb via the caldera ridge to the Wagagai mountain peak (4,321 meters). Now we descend into a new valley up to Mude Cave Camp at 3,500 meters. The atmosphere along the way is great, relaxed and I feel jitters in my stomach for the top day tomorrow.
At Mude Camp we set up our three tents. Then, something that is right up my alley, the campfire is lit! Through the Lake Louise method we discuss everyone’s mental and physical situation. We drink tea by the fire and eat our fill. The moon provides a lot of light and makes me have to pinch my arm to make sure I’m not dreaming…
Traveling Karamoja, a secret gem of Uganda – This incredible organization was founded when a passionate half-Dutch/half-Karamojong came back to Uganda to explore his roots, traveling for months talking to elders, climbing mountains, and exploring the culture. Since its start, Kara-Tunga continues lifting up the culture and the people of Karamoja.
Great trip to the beautiful top of Mt Kadam with very experienced, friendly and knowledgable guides from Kara Tunga. Thorough pre-trip advice and planning, expertly executed.
Mount Moroto Hiking Guides – Amazing landscapes, people and culture in Karamoja. Definitely recommend it for people who want to discover new places, go off the beaten tracks and truly have an amazing experience.
Kara-Tunga hosted a renown Belgium journalist to reveal Uganda’s untouched Karamoja region. He quoted Karamoja as “Off the Beaten Path” and his experience “Out of Africa”. Read his travel report in Belgiums biggest newspaper ‘Het Laatste Nieuws’ featuring the Karamoja region, Kidepo Valley National Park and Authentic cultural tours of Kara-Tunga.
