At the briefing point, the horror that surrounds the story might prompt you to reserve the trek to the caves but once you persist and arrive at the caves, the experience is rewarding. It is a great natural landscape with the roaring Nyakasura falls falling down the caves while the breast-like features are busy producing their milky substance.

The locals believe that the breast like features are breasts of Nynamwiru a daughter of Bukuku a self-enthroned King of the Bachwezi who was denied by her father to breastfeed her first son Ndahura as he had been foretold that Nnyinamwiru would give birth to a son that will take over his throne.

Other things that may come your way is Uganda’s very own KFC version of chicken and this will be a roasted chicken skewered on sticks and if you aren’t a fussy feeder, this is your moment to have a taste of this fire-grilled finger lingering goodness.

The journey ends with your arrival back to Kampala after you have checked into your hotel where you will have your dinner and an overnight stay as well.

•    Long trousers and long-sleeved sweaters or shirts while in the forest to avoid insect stings.
•    Photography is permitted, although you must not use flash
•    Porters are available to help you carry your day pack for a small charge
•    As you prepare to come for your Uganda gorilla adventure, please do some exercises so that you prepare your body for gorilla trekking which can last between 3-8 hours
