Uganda has its share of ancient mysticism. Few are exiting as the tales and myths surround the short-lived Bacwezi Empire.
Only three kings, Ndahura and Milindwa and Wamara are recorded to have reigned
No one is quite sure where these tall regal cattle-keepers came from and why they seemingly disappeared
Over the years however,the folklore associated with Bacwezi has taken on a religious fervour symbolised by such sites as Nakayima
Tree located on hill that overlook mubende town,nearly 143 kilometres west of kampala.
Nakayima,a favourite medium for kings Ndahura,once lived here and her spirit resides in the tree which also symbolizes fertility and other blessings .
Certain rituals must be undertaken to have any chance of geeting any favour from Nakayima
This includes circling it while making your offering, all prescribed by Jjaja who acts like a guardian at this shrine
