Sipi Falls consists of three waterfalls, found in the village of Sipi, in the Kapchorwa district of eastern Uganda, just over 4 hours drive from Kampala and a 15 minute drive from Hotel Rostows.

Here climate is cooler than most of the country, and though the weather tends to be pleasant all year round.

The glorious falls were named after the Sipi River, which in turn was named after a locally grown plant called ‘Sep’. The plant resembles a wild banana and is used for medicinal purposes as it’s believed to treat measles and fevers.

Sipi Falls lies at an altitude of 1,775 meters. When you stop to look at the beauty of the falls, you’ll forget about your aching feet and mud-stained trousers. 

The second-highest of the waterfalls comes first. It plunges 85 meters before concluding in a spectacular splash. The next fall is the smallest, at 65 meters. When it’s dry, you should be able to stand under it. If it’s been raining, you can stand in the cave behind the falls, and watch as the water crashes in front of you.

The last fall is the tallest at 100 meters. Make sure to pack a swimming costume, as the plunge at the bottom is large enough to swim in.

A stay at Hotel Rostows ensures you a visit to the Sipi Falls and a drive back from the fall.  The hotel will provide you a confirmable enough stay for the night and in the morning set out for a hike at the Sipi Falls.
