Karamoja is a place of mystery and adventure for many Ugandans. Tucked away in a remote part of northeastern Uganda, it is a place few have ventured to travel to and many are ignorant about.

Uganda Radio Network sent two journalists – Tom Malaba, who had never been to the area before and Joseph Elunya, who regularly reports on the region – to reinvestigate the wonder that is Karamoja.
