Hike to the Sipi Falls and coffee plantations tour

It’s time to hike to the Sipi Falls. Nestled in the stunning Mount Elgon region, the falls comprise three captivating waterfalls of more than 70 meters, with the main waterfall (and definitely the most impressive one) and its thundering cascade plunging down a 100-metre cliff! The hike takes you through lush greenery, coffee plantations and picturesque landscapes offering panoramic views.

Compliment your waterfalls hike with a coffee-making tour. Spend a few hours with small-scale farmers near Mt. Elgon National Park. Through the coffee tour, you will learn how to dig, weed, and harvest organic coffee in an authentic farming environment. You will get involved and learn about the process from seedlings to cup. You can also take part in picking, pounding, roasting, grinding, and drinking coffee. The skills and knowledge needed by farmers will bring a new appreciation to your coffee drinking habits.

Drive from Sipi Falls to Moroto, via the Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve

After seeing the beautiful dense and lavish green Sipi Falls in Mount Elgon National Park, you drive towards the more rocky Moroto district. It's a 6-hour journey, long enough for a break and a stretch of the legs along the way. The Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve is the perfect place for that, as it happens to have the most picturesque viewpoints. So why not stop here and enjoy your picnic lunch with an occasional elephant or giraffe passing by? It makes a long journey all the more adventurous and memorable!
