Nyero rock paintings date from before 1250 CE. They were first documented in 1913, and are the most important and well documented rock art sites in Uganda. I visit them with Johanna & Kjel. I then switch to Lake Bunyonyi in the south to explore Punishment Island (Akampene) with Cristina. A place where unwed pregnant girls were abandoned to suffer a shameful death.

Video Details:
We start this cultural adventure by visiting the Nyero rock paintings.
Check out the blog for details.
There are 6 sites in all.
Site 1 consists of a floral motif, 6 sets of concentric circles & an acacia pod.
Site 2 is the largest with over 40 images dominated by concentric circles.
Site 3 contains an image with concentric circles and radiating squiggles.
This painting is depicted on the Ugandan 1000-shilling note.
Yeah.
So there are 3 more?
The other 3 sites are small and faint so we skipped them for something more visual.
Let's check out the view.
The granite rock.
Now for an alternate descent.
Yes, where does the trail end?
At a dirt road.
Our next destination is Lake Bunyonyi.
Bunyonyi means “Place of many little birds.”
And some big ones.
We used a motorboat to stay on Itambira Island.
On my last visit only dugout canoes plied the lake.
At the Paradise Resort we had a number of sleeping options.
There's no door.
Laughter.
I guess the mosquito net is your barrier to nature.
Let's check an alternative.
They really believe in open air camping.
Cristina prefers a room with a door.
Success.
Now to check out the fresh eating options.
Or…
I guess you're on the menu.
Ah, mushrooms.
You eat that?
Yeah.
Time to get our feet wet and visit Punishment Island.
You know where it is?
Let's go then.
Once upon a time pregnant unwed girls were deposited on Punishment Island to die of thirst.
Or a poor man without the wealth to pay a bride price could save and marry them for free.
Alright Cristina, what do you think?
Could you survive on this island?
