Visiting Sir Samuel Baker Fort in Patiko,

The Sir Samuel Baker Fort in Patiko, is one of the few historical sites that we have in Uganda today. Fort Patiko as its commonly known was a site where slaves were being assembled by the Arabs before being shipped off to the Middle slaves. This fort was later taken over by Sir Samuel baker who set up a military base here to partly  try to fight this vice.
A visit to Fort Patiko today still carries with it fresh memories of the past, the trenches that were used by the soldiers are still visible, the cells were captives were being held still existent, the monument of Sir samuel baker also stands tall in this area. The Fort Patiko despite not being a well developed Tourism site has a rich history as can be told by the Tour guides and local communities with this area.
