Overview
Karamoja is one of the least touristic and most interesting regions of Uganda! There are many Things to see, no tourists (or very very few), and it is also an amazing region to discover authentic ways of living that have changed very little over the last decades! We will end the trip with a 2 day safari in Kidepo Valley National Park which has elephants, lions, buffaloes, leopards and giraffes, and beautiful landscapes, since the park is surrounded by mountains. The trip is from Enteebe international air port through kampala, accommodation either budget or luxury, and we will have a super custom car with open roof or a land cruiser.
