Voluntary work in Karamoja Uganda – I checked a long existing bucket list item…. a trip to Uganda. What an experience this was! This truly is ‘the pearl of Africa’…
I did voluntary work in Karamoja, a remote region in Northeast Uganda with amazing authentic cultural experiences. The local tribes have a basic way of living, enriched with fascinating ceremonies.
I coached Kara-Tunga in team-effectiveness. Together we worked on the (ABN AMRO) feedback challenge program, thinking outside the box, values, convincing skills, sharing opinions and ideas, making action plans. And yes, we also had a lot of fun together!
The Kara-Tunga team made me feel at home every minute of my stay! A warm welcome with traditional clothing and dancing, unforgettable tours in Karamoja, a relaxed restaurant for nice conversations, reading a book or preparing for a next team session.
My creativity was challenged in facilitating team sessions outdoors without all the gear that we are so used to (laptop, powerpoint, beamers, meeting room, etc). Instead, I made paper flipovers (my once attended workshop ‘business drawing’ came in very handy now?) and was creative with the limited available materials. I loved every minute of it!
Thanks Theo Vos for adding Uganda as a very special memory in my passion to travel.
We are proud to see our tour guides (Emmanuel, Peter, Brian and Thomas) being part of this milestone in professionalising Uganda’s tourism sector through government regulated licensing of tourist guides.
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.
We are excited to announce a new educational partnership with Dutch Noorderpoort College to strengthen our capacity in Karamoja regional tourism development through skilling.
27th September 2022, at World Tourism Day Celebrations, Kara-Tunga Tours was recognized by the Government of Uganda Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry, Uganda for Its “Passion and Promotion of Community Tourism in Uganda”.
