Sipi Falls Visit

Overview

Best uganda safaris & travel. Mt Elgon was once Africa‘s highest mountain, far exceeding Kilimanjaro’s current 5,895m. Millennia of erosion have reduced its height to 4,321m, relegating it to the 4th highest peak in East Africa and 8th on the continent.

A climb on Mt. Elgon’s deserted moorlands
unveils a magnificent and uncluttered wilderness without the summit–oriented approach common to many mountains: the ultimate goal on reaching the top of Mt. Elgon is not the final ascent to the 4321m Wagagai Peak, but the descent into the vast 40km² caldera.

Ascending further

The trail enters the National Park and straight away climbs the Wall of Death! Although conjuring horrifying images, this is simply a steep section where UWA has constructed a series of ladders, ramps and boardwalks through the cliffs.This strenuous day leaves you to rest and make camp at Mude caves camp.
