The Basoga have traditional caretakers who live on the hill, going back many centuries. The caves were discovered in 1686, during the reign of Olimi I of Bunyoro Kitara. When Bunyoro conquered Busoga, "Prince Mukama Namutukula" of Bunyoro made the Kagulu caves his personal residence. The location where Namutukula landed by boat, lies about away, on the shores of Lake Kyoga.

There is a waterfall, where water emanates from the rocks and cascades down the hill. Exploring the caves at the bottom of the hill offers another activity to visiting travelers.
