Karamoja Female Guides Training in Northeastern Uganda – While the global tourism sector is struggling to have the tourism business back to its normal operations, we decided not to stop offering our services. Kara-Tunga’s Karamoja Tourism Academy in collaboration with Nature Uganda held a training for women in Karamoja on how to get involved in tourism services.
The Karamoja region, (Northeastern Uganda) is one of the hidden gems of Uganda. It is very rich in cultural diversity, has over 50 bird species that are not seen in the other parts of the country, has about 10 or more mammals that are not known to be in other regions of Uganda.
60 women from over 6 districts joined the training. Herbert Byaruhanga and Nature Uganda promised to be coming back to check the progress of the trained women. Mr. Byaruhanga is confident that some of the trainees will take birding as specialisation, others will do culture while others will concentrate on adventure.
Exploring Lake Turkana for the Warrior Nomad Trail – Dutch Photographer Jesse Simonis and Kara-Tunga travelled to the west of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya to explore possibilities of including worlds largest desert lake on the Warrior Nomad Trail map.
We have come from far… tourism is positively changing the image of Karamoja and we hope that this collaboration with Uganda Tourism Board, NBS Television, NTV, UBC, can inspire tourism professionals and local communities to embrace Community Tourism in Karamoja as opportunity for inclusive development.
Bikepacking from Karamoja via Turkana to Ethiopia – Occasionally we meet people with courage and passion who took the opportunity to travel the world by bicycle like our friend Davide Travelli.
