Amabere Caves
The Amabere Caves, also known as the Nyakasura Caves given their location at Nyakasura
Falls, are located some five miles from Fort Portal on the Bundibugyo Road.
Not really caves, more a large overhang, the name Amabere Ga Nyina Mwiru translates as "Breasts of Nyinamwiru" with Nyinamwiru being the daughter of a local usurper king who reportedly had her breasts cut off to make her less attractive to men.
This rather drastic plan failed and the king, Bukuku of Tooro then hid her in the cave. However with her allure still strong, she became pregnant to the Batembuzi King Isaza and later gave birth to their son, Ndahura. Apparently.
