Nyero Rock Paintings
The Nyero Rock Paintings in Kumi District are Uganda’s most famous prehistoric rock art sites, dating to before 1250 CE. Attributed to ancient Batwa hunter-gatherers, these enigmatic red and white geometric paintings cover granite rock shelters. Revered by local Iteso communities as sacred dwellings of ancestral spirits, the site is steeped in ritual practices, supernatural lore, and dark tourism intrigue.
