      A magnificent mountain, I want to go there again!!!
      I climbed the best mountain of my life, Mount Elgon in Uganda. Mount Elgon is 50km wide from east to west, 80km long from north to south, and has an area of ​​4,000㎢ (including Mount Elgon on the Kenyan side), making it the largest extinct volcano in the world. Its highest peak, Wagagai Peak, is the 12th highest mountain in Africa. The reason I chose to climb this place in Africa is because, when I saw pictures on the internet of mountains around 5,000m high, such as Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, and Mount Stanley, it was such a beautiful mountain in terms of cost-effectiveness, weather, and grandeur. When I climb to the top of a small mountain and look out, it feels like I'm seeing a new world, but Mount Elgon, once the highest peak in Africa, was so different. Hippohead Peak, Round Altar Peak, Table Peak, and countless other rocky mountains that you can't see anywhere else, deep valleys that are wide open like twins with clear water flowing, magnificent ridges that seem close but far away, and grasslands and nameless flowers spread out widely below, it seems like a place where gods live. It is truly a mountain that opens your heart. It seems like a great land for people to live in, with the primitive jungle, water, and grasslands, but I heard from the guide that the Bagisu, Sabiny, and other indigenous people moved to other places. They must have taken the livestock they raised with them, so I couldn't see them, which was a shame, but the green primitive grasslands are spread out beautifully. So if the herbivorous livestock that used to live there had been restored, it would have been even more pleasing to my eyes. The Bagisu tribe called Mt. Elgon 'breast mountain'. It is too beautiful to express in words, and I, who live in a civilized world, want to live here instead of going down. I took a lot of pictures and videos because it was a shame to see such a beautiful mountain alone. However, I would like to suggest some improvements to attract more visitors. First, in order to improve accessibility to the mountain, the road to the entrance of the trail needs to be paved and more trekking courses need to be developed. This is because visitors who come with vehicles or who also visit Sipi Falls want to descend from the starting point unless there are special circumstances. Second, the mud paths that become a mess when it rains while hiking should be closed because they pose a high risk of accidents and damage to nature. Nevertheless, I would like to recommend this place to those who love mountains, so please go even if it is difficult to access.

      The Very Best Guide In Sipi
      I went to Sipi with my wife to film a travel documentary and William gave us all the support we needed. He’s a very warm guy and knowledgeable about the entire Sipi tourism ecosystem. He contributed much to the documentary as a tourist guide and local. That was the first but not the last time we worked together. I have severally gone back and he’s been as exceptional as always. People I have referred to him share similar sentiments.

      Wonderful experience
      We enjoyed this quick hike, my five year old was able to enjoy even with flip flops (we forgot our boots) with some help with William our guide. Thanks for the memories. William even took pictures and they look professional. ❤️

      Amazing 1 Day Hiking in Sipi Falls
      In our Uganda itinerary, we decided to stop in Sipi and do the 1 Day Sipi Falls Hike with William. It was a great choice to choose Discover Sipi because William is a very nice and friendly guy who was explaining us a lot of things related to the country: how the local communities lived there, the language they used to communicate with each other and how important are the crops for the Ugandans. The fact is that the hiking to the three waterfalls was enjoyable and we found it a quite affordable tour, despite the fact that in the previous days it had rained and there was a lot of mud. 100% recommendable company

      Best National Park of Uganda
      I did this trip with 3 student friends of mine. Although we have never done anything like this, we easily reached the peak as planned. The landscapes, the views, and the vegetation were incredible. The crew (consisting of 2 rangers, 1 guid from Discover Sipi, 4 porters and 1 cook) was streamlined and very professional. The guides explained a lot about the mountains and culture of the region. Additionally they were very interested in our lives so we had many good conversations. Although that the lodges were quite rudimentary ( we slept in tents and sleeping backs), the stunning views sitting from the campfire made it worth it. At last, after the four day hike, we visited the sipi falls and did a coffee tour. Simon, a guide from Discover Sipi, helped us to do everything we wanted.

      Unforgettable Uganda Roundtrip
      Discover Sipi organized a wholesome weekend in Sipi (hikes, coffee tour, sunset walk) followed by an adventorous 7-day Safari trip (Pian-Upe, Kidepo, Murchinson) for us 3. Not only did we see and got to know a lot of stunning Uganda but we also had a great blast with our guide William and our Driver Hillary. William customized the whole trip to our wishes and budget and answered any questions very quickly. He is also a great photographer, so we didn't need to take care not to miss a shot and could just relax and enjoy nature + wildlife. Cute surprises along the way were included too! I'm really glad to have come across Discover Sipi and recommend it 100%.

      Great experience!
      Discover Sipi has a very professional and accommodating approach to take you around Mount Elgon and Sipi Falls in the East of Uganda. I would definitely recommend them to organise your trip in the mountains and going to the falls: the guides are good, the food is very tasteful and the views are amazing!

      Fantastic company! Amazing tour!
      This trip with discover Sipi was incredible. William helped us design a bespoke itinerary and then carried out our plans efficiently and with excellent customer service. William and elvis were so organised and friendly. We did amazing activities like visiting the source of the Nile and a hike at Sipi falls. I would recommend this company to everyone looking for a weekend trip in Uganda!

      What a memorable experience i had. My first time to visit Sipi, Kapchorwa district became more memorable with Discover Sipi travel guides. They are very friendly, reliable and most importantly legitimate. They suggested me the hotel accom as well as the fees for all the amazing activities. They are very Helpful and generous to share information. I really enjoyed it. Kudos to the team spearheaded by Willam and his team Simon & Ezekiel. What are you waiting for, book now.

    I had a trip to Sipi falls a couple of months ago and William was my guide, the professionalism I saw in this young man was beyond what I expected, he has a great character that will make you enjoy your stay, trust me, you can never want him to stop talking, that's what I found rare about him, I recommend Discover Sipi in case your headed that way
