Adjumani
Welcome to Adjumani, a district steeped in history and blessed with natural wonders. Located in the heart of Uganda's West Nile region, Adjumani is a destination that beckons European holiday travelers with its rich cultural heritage and pristine landscapes.
Historical Significance of Adjumani
Adjumani District was established in 1997, carved out from Moyo District. Its name is derived from its largest town, Adjumani, which has been a hub of cultural exchange for generations. The district has also played a crucial role in hosting refugees fleeing conflict in South Sudan, embodying the spirit of resilience and compassion. Because it’s a place for those who flee to finally rest, it’s why we call it “The Resting Shoulder.”
