Located on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, the Ugandan town of Hoima lies about 30 kilometres from Lake Albert and serves as a fantastic gateway to all the attractions of the lake and the Murchison Falls area. The town features colourful buildings, which are backed by lush green hills, and the rest of the famously beautiful Kingdom of Bunyoro-Kitara. History enthusiasts should make sure to visit the fascinating Nyamyarro Museum, which includes a 1000-year-old ornately decorated traditional throne; discover the Mparo Tombs (a historic burial ground), and explore the mighty Katasiha Fort situated just two kilometres from Hoima Town.
