The river dried out through the biggest part of the year. A stroll on its wide bed of white sand or in the borassus palm forest which feels like an oasis in the Sahara, is a fascinating attraction.
Community Visits
A unique insight into the warrior tribe’s way of life. The name Karamojong derived from a phrase meaning ‘the old men can walk no further’. Originally from Ethiopia, this tribe settled in the north east of Uganda. Related to the Maasai, this is a warrior nomad tribe for whom, for generations, pride and status were cattle and for whom cattle raids were the rule of the day. Since the disarmament however, things have calmed down. Cattle are still king, but subsistence farming has become a lot more common.

Namamkwenyi valley among others and during bird watching, you will be able to view different bird species. Such as superb sterling, ostrich, Abyssinian ground hornbill, clapper tons.
