Sad fascinating stories about slave trade In northern Uganda.

The beauty is simply breath taking, cool weather. Most of all the history behind this place, the agony of the slaves clearly seen while they print the names of their slave masters on the rock. For those interested in camping this is a place to be, just carry your tent and drinks plus food.

Many years ago there was a person called Atiko came from Sudan and started living here. The name Patiko means, anyone who belongs to Atiko or we can say children of Atiko.The Arab people came here in the year of 1800 approximately and they started slave trade. That time here the people were using silent language as the local community speaks Luo and Acholi language, which Arabic people didnt understand. They were using Bata System for business due to lack of currency.Sir Samuel Baker had built the fort to fight against slave trade in 1872. Later on it was occupied by Colonel Charles Gordon in 1879. It is considered as a historical monument and opened as a tourist attraction.There are few broken structures of fort, built by stones and pebbles. It is considerable that there is no such fort which is standing as like in story books. But the place is nice and enjoyable. There are giant rocks and natural rock formations of various shapes. There is a rock, which is naturally shaped like African map on a part of ground. Can be noticed from top of few giant rocks. The view from the top is very good as there are two hills around. Many tourists come to visit the place, specially outsiders.I wish our tourist friends will enjoy this place those who like to explore such places.

Bakers Fort Patiko. This fort was built in 1872 as abase ,to stop slave trade in Equatorial province by Sir. Samuel Baker 1872-1876.It was later occupied and expanded by colonel Charles Gordon in 1879. It was gazetted as national historic monument in 1972.

The atmosphere is so cool and natural.

Nice history

Because am a fun of adventure

Very wonderful place that everyone can love to go

Great source of history about slavery in Acoli land

Beautiful though deserted... its hard to get a credible tour guide.

Its a good place to stay for a vacation or adventure

Thisis my home! The area gives me an experience I havent seen anywhere else, I hope we shall see proper camping and trekking facilities!

I have visited this site several time,its lovely.The structures have stood a test of time and the history is very rich.I will visit it over and over again.

Fort Patiko is a place of historical significance with dramatic scenery. A stop on the Sir Samuel and Lady Baker Trail , the ruined fort was the site of a centre of slavery which Sir Samuel Baker later conquered and rebuilt into an outpost against that evil trade. Great slabs of rock, a traditional welcom and magnificent views reward the visitor. Remember to take water for facililities are few at the moment.
