Sir Samuel Baker’s Fort

Located in Northern Uganda in the district of Gulu, Sir Samuel Baker’s Fort at Patiko lies on Ocecu hill about 2 kilometres from Gulu town at Nimule nearing Sudan and Egypt.

Founded on several rationales like need to sort slaves, long distances to the market reach in Sudan and Egypt where Arabs trade merchants settled, there was a need to get a resting point for the slaves, there was also need to acquire a place for keeping of ammunitions and the early explorers bumped on Ocecu hill which became the convenient place where they carried out all the sorting, kept the slaves, and ammunitions, as well as a resting point.
