Northern Uganda has come far from the days when the Lord’s Resistance Army war made the region a no-go zone. The farthest tourists could go was Murchison Falls National Park, cutting off the attractions that dotted many districts of northern Uganda.

Travel blogger, Amia Pamela, who has been to most parts of Uganda has only visited the north once and confesses that she barely knows any of the attractions there apart from the major ones.
