Itinerary

1

Day 1: Scenic Drive to the Highlands of Sipi

Your adventure begins the moment we pick you up from your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe. We’ll leave the city behind and head east, embarking on a fascinating road trip into the highlands. The journey itself is part of the experience, as you watch the landscape transform from bustling towns to serene green countryside. We’ll make a classic Ugandan pitstop at Namawojjolo for some delicious roasted snacks before continuing our drive.

You’ll arrive at your lodge in the Sipi Falls region in the late afternoon, just in time to breathe in the fresh, cool mountain air and settle in. The views from here are spectacular, offering a perfect, peaceful end to your travel day.

Day 2: The Ultimate Sipi Falls Hike & Coffee Experience

After a hearty breakfast with a stunning view, it’s time to explore. Today, a knowledgeable local guide will lead you on a beautiful hike to all three of the main Sipi waterfalls. The trail winds through lush community farmlands and small villages, offering a glimpse into daily life in this fertile region.

As you hike from one majestic waterfall to the next, you’ll also dive into the heart of Uganda’s coffee country. Your guide will lead you through local Arabica coffee plantations, explaining the entire bean-to-cup process, from picking the ripe cherries to roasting them over an open fire. You’ll even get a chance to brew your own fresh, aromatic cup!

After a rewarding few hours of hiking, you’ll return to the lodge for a well-deserved lunch. In the evening, you’ll be treated to a vibrant cultural performance by local Sabiny dancers, a wonderful and energetic end to an unforgettable day.

Day 3: Journey to the Source of the Nile & Return to Kampala

Enjoy a final, leisurely breakfast in the beautiful Sipi landscape. Afterward, we’ll begin our journey back towards Kampala. We have one more iconic stop planned: the historic town of Jinja, famous as the source of the world’s longest river.

Here, you’ll have the option to take a relaxing boat cruise on the mighty Nile River. As you glide across the water, you’ll visit the very spot where the river begins its epic journey to the Mediterranean Sea—a perfect photo opportunity. Keep an eye out for local birdlife, and perhaps even a hippo or two lazing in the shallows.

Following this memorable stop, we will complete our drive back to Kampala or Entebbe, dropping you off at your preferred location with a camera full of photos and a heart full of memories.
