Explore Sipi Falls
Sipi Falls is located in the Eastern portion of Uganda which is about 270 kilometers away from Kampala.

Sipi Falls is comprised of three beautiful falls cascading over steep hillsides making it an ideal spot for sightseeing, hiking and camping. Visitors to Sipi Falls can also enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Elgon with its peaks stretching up to 4,321 meters above sea level.
Sipi falls are derived from the Sipi River but they fall from different altitudes from different locations. As the Sipi River flows from the top, you find the first water fall with a great and roaring splash, as you hike to this fall it is a bit terrifying though its a safe place. This is the second highest falling from an altitude of 85metres over a cliff forming a pool below. The river continues to flow through local communities, gardens and over rocks until to meets another cliff of about 65metres high, then forming the second water fall referred to as a ‘twin fall’ but it is smaller than the other two waterfalls. This fall has a manmade cave which gives you accessibility to view the falls from behind, also after the long hike you can choose to go under the natural shower formed by this fall for a relief. While at the twin falls you can take as many photos you want, enjoy the cold atmosphere a time never to forget! The river still flows through bushes and trees, and meets another cliff about 100metres high; this is the biggest of all the three waterfalls also called the main waterfall, which has made many people think it is the “the Sipi Falls” not considering the other two falls.
