The beautiful sipi falls

Posted on March 13, 2023July 17, 2025 by lynett

I can still picture the feeling I got when I first saw these amazing falls and was glad that Tugendeafrik.com had organized this trip with lynett Nakamanya.

Sipi Falls is a stunning series of three waterfalls located in the eastern part of Uganda, near the town of Kapchorwa. The falls are situated in the foothills of Mount Elgon, which is the eighth highest mountain in Africa and is shared by both Uganda and Kenya.

The three waterfalls that make up Sipi Falls are known as the Upper Falls, the Middle Falls, and the Lower Falls. The Upper Falls is the tallest of the three, with a drop of over 100 meters, while the Middle Falls is around 75 meters high and the Lower Falls is about 85 meters high. The falls are fed by the Sipi River, which originates from Mount Elgon.

Sipi Falls is a popular tourist destination in Uganda, known for its stunning natural beauty, hiking trails, and opportunities for adventure activities such as abseiling, rock climbing, and mountain biking. Visitors can take guided hikes to explore the falls and the surrounding areas, or they can opt for a more relaxed experience by simply enjoying the scenery and taking in the views. Tugendeafrik had organized a hike which took us to the top of the falls and also had an option of other activities since the walk to the top was not easy for everyone. We took pictures as we walked up the falls.

In addition to the falls, there are several small villages in the area that offer visitors a glimpse of local life and culture. We later had a coffee tour where we took part in the coffee roasting and grinding process since this coffee is known for its high quality and distinctive flavour.

Overall, Sipi Falls is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Uganda, offering a unique combination of natural beauty, adventure, and cultural experiences and Tugendeafrik.com has got you covered for this beautiful experience

Best times to visit Uganda for wildlife sighting

Posted on March 10, 2023July 17, 2025 by admin

Home to the famous mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, elephants, lions, and many more species, Uganda is a must-visit destination for wildlife enthusiasts. However, the best time to visit Uganda for wildlife sightings varies depending on the specific species of animals you want to see and the weather conditions in the country.

DRY SEASON

In general, the best time to visit Uganda for wildlife sightings is during the dry season, which runs from June to September and from December to February. During this time, the weather is mild, and the skies are clear, making it easier to spot animals in their natural habitats. The dry season is also a great time to visit Uganda’s national parks, which offer excellent opportunities for game drives and guided walks.

One of the main reasons why the dry season is the best time to visit Uganda for wildlife sightings is that animals are more visible and active during this time. With less vegetation to hide behind, animals are more easily spotted by visitors, and they tend to spend more time in open areas, making them easier to observe. Additionally, many animals gather around watering holes and rivers during the dry season, making it easier to spot them in one location.

Another great time to visit Uganda for wildlife sightings is during the rainy season, which runs from March to May and from October to November. While the rainy season can make it more challenging to navigate the country’s dirt roads and trails, it is also a time of increased animal activity. During the rainy season, many animals give birth, and the lush vegetation attracts more herbivores, which, in turn, attracts more predators.

Overall, the best time to visit Uganda for wildlife sightings depends on your personal preferences and the specific animals you want to see. However, whether you choose to visit during the dry season or the rainy season, Uganda offers a fantastic wildlife experience that should not be missed.
