The itinerary

Day 01

Entebbe to Jinja and Onward to Mbale

You will be picked up from your hotel in Entebbe by our representative-guide and transferred to Jinja, a journey that takes about 2 and a half hours. Upon arrival in Jinja, you will be taken to a nearby restaurant for breakfast before heading out for a boat trip to the source of the Nile.
After the boat cruise, you will have lunch in town, and we shall also visit the craft shops adjacent to the restaurant.
Then, we will drive to Mbale, arriving in the evening.

Check in at Casa Lodges, have dinner, and stay overnight.

Note: Water rafting is optional at the source of the Nile.

Day 02

Sipi Falls Hike and Coffee Experience

After your African breakfast, we will drive towards Sipi overlooking Sironko and enjoy a panoramic view over Mount Elgon (4300 m). The drive normally takes about 1 and a half hours.
Then, we will start our hike, and you can choose between a shorter or longer route to the waterfall through fruit plantations and villages. One waterfall is perfect for taking a quick shower, and you can even enjoy a cold swim.
A longer five-hour hike will allow you to visit all three waterfalls, a cave, and some of the most beautiful scenery, passing through plenty of villages as well as fruit and coffee plantations. Whichever hike we choose today, it will be a beautiful day in paradise.
We shall come back to the lodge for lunch, relax a bit, and then go for a coffee tour where you will participate in the coffee-making experience in the nearby village.

Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
