it is a very old place. there are paintings dated 5000 years ago. Not easy to believe but carbon tested gave that result. there are sun, cano, man, rain and giraffe drawings. they are engraved, they used a kind of paint. i dont know how they have been presevered that long. It is also nice hiking and climbing. Not a good place for toddlers.

You can get here in 20-30 minutes from Kumi on a boda taxi. You get your tour guide who will walk you through the sites and teach you. You should wear shoes with a good grip, especially if you want to climb the biggest rock for amazing 360 views. The rock art is wonderful and this is a great visit. Allow 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

It is good place to see. I recommend you to go to the top of the rock for a nice view. It has three different rock paintings. Two of them are five thousand and one of them is three thousand years old. Two of them close to each other. And the third one is about eight hundred meters from these ones.

Nyero is great place to learn about rock art paintings of a group of Bantu people who later migrated to western Uganda.

They used rock painting to document their ways of life to future generations.

Nyero is now occupied by the Iteso people.

Besides learning about this rich History, you'll also enjoy nice hike around the three different rocks, great scenery of flat plains of Teso. You can also visit Kumi university and Nyero township which...

A special spot with its huge rocks, bush and of course unusual rock art. We camped on the site thanks to a "private arrangement" with Diana Rose in the office and took a rather curious walk around with William the caretaker/guide. Ask him to show you his books about the site as they have some interesting info. Stunning spot to spend some time, some great sundowner spots and birds to...
