Geographic centre of Uganda
The geographic centre of Uganda is north of Lake Kyoga in Olyaka village, Olyaka parish in Namasale sub-county in Amolatar District, Northern Uganda.[citation needed]
The point is marked by the Amolatar Monument aka Uganda Tribes Monument which displays the names of all ethnic tribes in Uganda.[citation needed] The Amolatar peninsula offered refuge to different tribes during the Karimojong cattle rustling of the 1970s through to the 1980s and early 1990s most of whom ended up settling in the district. Once a year, in September, people from all tribes of the region gather at this place and pray.[citation needed]
