We just returned from mapping a trail through Kenya’s West-Pokot County. The trail is meant for the Warrior Nomad Trail initiative to guide travelers through East Africa’s least travelled areas.
West-Pokot is located across the borders of Uganda’s Karamoja sub-region. It’s easy accessible by road from Amudat District. The main attractions are Mount Mtelo, Lake Turkwel, Nasalot National Reserve, Marish Pass and the traditional Pokot culture.
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.
It was a fantastic week showcasing Kara-Tunga Tours and Kara-Tunga Foundation at the Uganda-EU Business Forum in Kampala. I’m excited to continue these conversations at the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo on May 23-25, 2024! See you there!
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.
Last Year we had the pleasure to host Dutch fashion designer Jan Boelo for 4 days in Karamoja for an inspirational trip. This month his story was featured in Marie Claire magazine and the designer wrote a beautiful story about his #DiscoverKaramoja experience and the creation of a garment based on the iconic Karamojong sheet.
