Holidays in Karuma

Awesome! Your leave's been approved. Now all you've gotta do is wave goodbye to the treadmill of office life and book a trip to Karuma — pronto!

It lies 220 kilometres north of Kampala, the capital city of Uganda.

Break free on a trip to some nearby natural beauty spots. 30 kilometres out of Karuma, Murchison Falls National Park is waiting to be explored. Murchison Falls, 30 kilometres away, is another excellent spot to unwind in the outdoors.

Looking for some additional nearby localities? Paraa is about 40 kilometres to the west, so get in the car and start exploring! Alternatively, Kigumba, 50 kilometres south of Karuma, is also worthy of a day trip.

Keen for something to get your heart pumping? For an unforgettable journey through the area's landscapes, sign yourself up for some mountain climbing or hiking.

A clear day is a fantastic opportunity to venture into the great outdoors and spend a few relaxing hours bird watching. If the agreeable weather persists, you could also try some wildlife watching.

You certainly won't need to carry around a heavy guidebook if you sign up for a few guided nature walks, wildlife spotting tours and wildlife safaris. Your gracious tour guide will give you the most up-to-date knowledge around!

Want to have some fun off dry land? Uganda is an excellent place to get involved in some swimming and rafting. They're must-do pastimes, even for landlubbers!

'There is no love sincerer than the love of food,' George Bernard Shaw once said, but throw travel into the mix and it's a marriage made in heaven. You're invited to indulge in two of your greatest loves by eating and drinking your way through Uganda.

A typical meal here tends to include yams and bananas, two ingredients for which the region is famous for plating up.

While you're in Karuma, why not eat like a local? That means trying a plate of deep fried grasshoppers or luwombo (stew), some of the region's most distinctive dishes.

If you love dessert, we don't think you'll be disappointed. Be sure to try sesame honey candies, a yummy treat that's guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth.

If you're feeling rather thirsty and would like to indulge in a glass of amber nectar, we suggest moonberg. Take advantage of happy hour, make some new pals and bottoms up!

If you're travelling to Karuma on the 9th of October, get ready to party! Independence Day sees crowds of locals getting out and about and celebrating.

Having a hard time bidding farewell? Don't worry. This beautiful region will always be here awaiting your return.

Making it to your flight on time can be a stressful experience. That being said, you'll be right if you've got a plan. The closest terminal, Gulu Airport (ULU), is 75 kilometres to the northeast.
