Introducing Menyamya & Aseki
Menyamya, in the heart of Anga country, is truly remote. Those who make the significant effort to get here usually come to see the smoked bodies at Aseki or Watama, nearer to Menyamya. The Anga used to smoke their dead and leave the mummified bodies in burial caves. These days they practise Christian burials, though a very small number choose the traditional death rites.

The best place to view a smoked body is at Watama, a village within an easy walk of Menyamya. Ask at the Menyamya provincial authority, which will contact the relevant village elders.
The Anga Development Authority (474 0211) has a guesthouse but food is not always available. Alternatively, ask around and you’ll soon find someone to spend the night with.
