3 Days Sipi Falls Uganda Safari
This safari provides a breathtaking atmosphere to you especially when you enjoy the splendid views of Sipi Falls. A hike to Mountain Elgon makes your safari even better as you view nature from a distance. Sipi falls is located in the Eastern Uganda in Kapchorwa district approximately 277km from Kampala Uganda’s capital. The Sipi falls are found on the foothills of Mountain Elgon just at the edge of Mount Elgon National park nearing the Kenyan border to Uganda. The name Sipi was derived from the word ‘sep’ which is a name of a wild banana-like indigenous plant that grows along the banks of the Sipi River. Over time, this plant has been used as medicine for treating fevers and measles by local people in that area.

The Sipi falls is comprised of 3 waterfalls each flowing from a different altitude. The highest fall drops from an altitude of 100m referred to as the main fall since it is the last fall in the series, this fall is a little bigger than the other two falls, but all give Uganda a beautiful scenery. In fact most people say that Sipi falls are the ‘most romantic falls’ in Uganda which is evidenced by the wonderful falls. This area is majorly where most hikes to Mt. Elgon are started from. Hiking up to these falls gives a beautiful scenic view, like Lake Kyoga, the Karamoja low lands, coffee plantations and other surrounding areas. The climate in this area is cool since it’s a hilly area and sometimes as individuals are hiking there are rains, which makes hiking a bit hard but it is also an experience of its own, generally it is a place available for chilling, loosening up and relaxing from the congestion around cities.

Day 1 : Travel to Sipi Falls at Mt Elgon
Day 2 : Another day at Mt. Elgon visiting caves
Day 3 : Travel back to Kampala, en route at the source of the Nile and Sezibwa falls
