Kigulu hill (Rock) is in Buyende county, Buyende District, in Busoga. The caves gained prominence when Prince Mukama Namutukula of Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom made the Kigulu caves his personal residence.
The top of the rock commands great panoramic views that include the River Nile as it enters Lake Kyoga. A waterfall originates from the rocks and cascades down the hill.
There are traditional caretakers at the site who have lived there for so many centuries
