Description

Wikipedia

Tororo Rock is a rock formation located in the town of Tororo in the Eastern Region of Uganda. It serves as the defining feature of the town. It is also a tourist attraction being climbable in around an hour. The climb involves four ladders up the last sections but the walk does not require any skill. A tour guide is recommended and a small fee is charged to non-nationals (USh 10,000 per person or approximately US$2.75), as of December 2017. On top of the hill is a radio mast and accompanying power substation. Also at the summit are cell towers belonging to the leading telecommunication network companies operating in Uganda, including Airtel Uganda, MTN Uganda and Uganda Telecom. There is also a closed down cable car that has remained unused for a number of years.
