Founding story of Kara-Tunga - Karamoja Tourism Development

Kara-Tunga reflects on 4 years of impact through tourism in Uganda’s unspoilt Karamojaland. Karamojaland With more than 27,000 square kilometres, this arid expanse of savannah and bush forms the northeast edge of Uganda. Inhabited by the Karimojong, a Nilotic-ethnic group who migrated from present-day Ethiopia. The Karimojong are nomadic cattle keepers who’s lives still revolve around cattle what’s their pride and wealth. But times are changing and traditional life is under pressure due to climate change, upcoming mining industry and modernisation. History Karamojaland is truly gifted by nature as it exists of 17% forest and 41% protected wildlife area. Though this message was never told due to decades of armed cattle raiding and road ambushes that caused social isolation and economicaly exclusion from the rest of Uganda. After 10 years of a historical and controversial disarmement excersise, the government of Uganda managed to disarm the Karimojong. Hereafter a large-scale campaign started to develop the region by improving infrastructure, healthcare and education. This made Karamojaland a destination for only the most adventurous travellers and many countries advised their citizens against all travel up to recent.
