evidence: It is thought that the first group of Nilotic peoples entered what is now known as Uganda in the 1400s. They settled in the verdant area of northern Uganda. These people became known as the Acholis and are based around Gulu, their main modern town. If you are lucky enough to visit this area, you can still see the Acholis living in their roundovals with thick thatched roofs. [...] They immediately found Lake Victoria, which they called Nam Lolwe, meaning "endless lake." When they arrived, it seemed like the water went on forever. The Jolou settled at the lake and became fishermen, which they are to this day. Since they arrived in Kenya over five hundred years ago, they have become very influential and are the fourth largest ethnic group in Kenya today. Other groups moved along the shores of the lake into Tanzania.
