At the wake of the time when everyone when the country is getting to realize the importance of tourism, the plight of the tourism potential in the greater eastern Uganda is beginning to gain ground. The hike to the Tororo rock is marked as one of these initiatives that would contribute to the mission. With the company of 27 Tourism beauty Queens, the Hon Minister Mutagamba as the chief hiker and other corporates participants not forgetting the UTB Officials, the hike of the Tororo rock has been more than just a hike and other people including travelers  on Uganda safari tours could not be left out.
