Itinerary description
Treking des de Kawalakol (on vam fer nit en una escola) fins un poblat Ik, tot remuntant les amples planures d'aquesta vila i pujant per la vall fins als 2350 m d'alçada, al coll de les muntanyes Morungole on ens vam trobar una de les viles dels Ik. Vistes espectaculars i un encontre culturalment xocant i molt interessant amb aquest poble desplaçat per la creació del Parc Nacional de la Vall de Kidepo.
"The Ik people (sometimes called Teuso) are an ethnic group numbering about 10,000 people living in the mountains of northeastern Uganda near the border with Kenya, next to the more populous Karamojong and Turkana peoples. The Ik were displaced from their land to create the Kidepo Valley National Park and consequently suffered extreme famine. Also, their weakness relative to other tribes meant they were regularly raided. The Ik are subsistence farmers who grind their own grain.
The Ik language is a member of the highly divergent Kuliak subgroup of Nilo-Saharan languages". (Wikipedia)
