All About Sipi Falls

The falls get their name from a small trading center and town that is nearby, but the thundering waterfalls are really the main draw. Sipi Falls is a series of three waterfalls where you can spend most of the day climbing down to the base of one, only to climb up to see the other two.  The one you'll see the most pictures of is the main waterfall and biggest attraction.

Sipi is nearby the city of Mbale to help you orient yourself, about an hour away. 

The small town of Sipi is where you'll typically start your trek. We have more info on how to do this on a budget, with some tour options for you to consider.  The falls themselves are found above the small town of Sipi, through a lush hillside that sport some pretty stunning views. 

Do I Need A Guide? 

That depends. You can definitely do the hike on your own (or by hiring a local guide in Sipi) but you will absolutely need a tour group who can set up you up with all the gear to go abseiling down one of the waterfalls. 

What to know during Abseiling Sipi Falls ( Techniques)

Abseiling technique means you abseil at a steady speed (the belay device moves gently and steadily), with your legs at roughly right angles to the rock face, knees slightly bent, and feet half a meter apart. Descend gently by walking slowly backward using the friction of the rope through the belay device to control the speed. The help of the instructor will enable you to excel in the Abseiling Sipi Falls exercise.
