East Africa is home to some fascinating cave systems, particularly in Kenya and Uganda. Kitum Cave in Kenya’s Mount Elgon National Park, for instance, is famous for its “elephant caves,” where elephants dig into the walls to extract salt. Visitors can explore these caves and learn about their geological significance. In Uganda, the caves of Nyero, a UNESCO World Heritage site, feature prehistoric rock paintings, offering a glimpse into ancient human life in the region.
