Waterfall hikes

What it is

A guided hike to one or more waterfalls. At Sipi, on the slopes of Mount Elgon, the trail visits three falls and passes coffee farms and village homes, with wide views over the plains. Griffin Falls sits in Mabira Forest, a short drive from Kampala. At Murchison, a path climbs to the top of the falls, where the whole Nile pushes through a gap about 7 metres wide.

Where in Uganda

Sipi Falls (Kapchorwa), Griffin Falls (Mabira Forest, near Lugazi), the top of Murchison Falls, and Nyakasura Falls near Fort Portal.

What to expect

Walks of 1 to 6 hours. The full Sipi three-falls hike takes about 4 to 6 hours. A local guide is required at Sipi. Go as a private group or join one of our group trips.

Activity level

Level 3, Moderate, for Sipi: steep steps and slippery rocks. The Griffin Falls walk is Level 2, Easy.

Good to know

  • The falls are fullest from March to May and September to November; paths are drier in the other months.
  • Never swim near the top of a waterfall.
  • Wear shoes with good grip. Bring a rain jacket and water.
  • Children can come with care, staying close to an adult on steep parts.

Price: Price on request.

Hike to Sipi Falls on Mount Elgon, Griffin Falls in Mabira Forest or the top of Murchison Falls, with a local guide.
