7 days Manyatta experience

Itinerary

The 7 days manyatta experience is an interactive or participatory tour. Travellers shall get to meet the Karimajong people. The Karimajong people are a fierce warrior cattlekeeping tribe found in Northern Uganda. They are the cousins of the Masaai of Kenya and Tanzania. Wealth in their community is measured by the number of cows one has. The women build huts to live in known as the manyatta while the men go out to herd cattle. Their staple food is milk and cow blood.

While with the karamajong, you shall sit with the elders in their meetings. You shall help to herd some cattle and do some milking. You shall participate in the tribal dances and if lucky attend a wedding ceremony. If you are a Lady, you shall learn how to style hair the Karimajong way.
