If you enjoy the view from one of the many view points at
Pugu Hills it makes a difference the way the trees look like if you
know something of what has been going on under them.
The trees you see are belonging to Pugu Village. There is
Pugu Kajiungeni, Pugu Stesieni (Station) Kigogo Fresh.
The cattle market where most of the Sukuma herds
(Mwanza)are sold is worth a visit.
The Pugu Secondary School at the horizon where the German Missionaries
where attacked during the Arab uprising at the end of the 19th century,
against the European colonialist. The graves of the victims are still
present.
On the hill behind the Coconut Plantation Von Lettow the
German Commander who had to surrender to the Allied troops only after
being instructed by Kaiser "Wilhelm" had his camp there before
embarking for his 5 years of cat and mouse with the allied troops. Can
you imagine the small white wig wam like tents under the trees
Or what to think of the mysterious trail in the Pugu
Forest of which you use a small section when closing in on the cave
upstream of the water reservoir. Did the teachers of Minaki School
spend their Sundays early 20th century, strolling around the Forest
looking for lions ? (We are digging for more stories)
