Claims are that there is no single disease, be it a skin rash, fever, Joint pains or cancer among others that cannot be cured at the Kitagata Hot Spring. Visiting Kitagata is like going to a referral hospital. Seeing people both men and women cutting across all ages who are almost naked in water in pond like formation is the first sign that you have arrived at the healing place. Kitagata is vernacular ward meaning warmth. Due to the popularity of the spring both the village and the sub county is also known as kitagata in the western Uganda. The hot spring has attracted many visitors who throng the area to experience the curing power of the water that burbles from the ground. Patients at kitagata drink and bath with the spring water twice a day. They take turns to immerse themselves in the spring water so as to get healed. According to the guide at the Hot spring, the morning session is shorter because when the heat increases, the water gets hotter and uncomfortable for bathing. The pearl of Africa is where beauty transcends from wild flora and fauna to culture.
