Rock on which King Yuhi III Mazimpaka is said to have died in 1675, or, according to another oral reendition, the rock from where the King jumped to the next hill (he is said to have been tall and handsome).
Near the small settlement on top of the hill, locals are able to show you the rocks with small holes, where King liked to play his beloved Ikibuguzo or Igisoro game.
Both of these rocks are not super spectacular but make a nice destination for a hike.
