Hello,
I need to find as much information as possible about this region of Uganda?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

I am assuming you mean the district and not the actual village?

http://www.moroto.go.ug

This is a semi-decent source of info for local political and administrative structures, basic info on health, natural resources, etc. Takes a while to sift through but there is a good deal of info on this site for an area that has scant info.................

What exactly do you need to know?

Moroto can be reached from Mbale either via Soroti (90 km tarmarc, or 170 km 2 WD dirt, drive time required 6 hours) or via the direct eastern route ( 230 km. 2 WD dirt, drive time required 7 hours ). There is good birding along both routes. To reach the Seminary from Moroto, turn right at the first roundabout in town and continue around the base of the mountain for 7.5 km. The road from Moroto to Soroti crosses the Bokora Game Reserve 50 km from town and dry thorn bush at the roadside supports, Yellow-necked Spurfowl, Mouse-Colorado Penduline Tit, Northern White-crowned Shrike, Beautiful Sunbird and Grey-capped Social Weaver. Pink-breasted Lark favours the arid Acacia savanna in this area. Hartlaub's Bustard has been described as " common on the Bokora Plains ".and Red-fronted Warbler, a scarce species in Uganda, is known from arid scrub at the roadside between Kangole and Iriri villages ( 30 -65km from Moroto ).

The direct eastern route from Mbale to Moroto is an excellent birding road although the journey takes longer than via Soroti. The stretch

between Nakapiripit and Moroto is particularly good with Pygmy Falcon, Jackson's Hornbill and White- headed Buffalo Weaver common at the roadside although a fair selection of dry country " specials" may be found a mere 25km north of the Kapchorwa turnoff.
Hope these helps. http://travel.mongabay.com/uganda
