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.
This is an amazingly fun Belgian television series for children showing how people in the world live with animals. For this 16 episode series, our favourite Belgian musician/presenter Arne Vanhaecke, visited different homesteads and kraals in Karamoja. The series is produced by VTM Kzoom in collaboration with Veterinarians Without Borders Belgium. View all episodes here:
A team of researchers found a mutilated fossil, believed to be the remote cousin of Hominidae in volcanic ash on the slopes of Mt Napak, in Karamoja on July 18, 2011.
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!
