Amazing hike! Worth every penny and more! - This was the most wonderful hike, with beautiful views and very pleasant and helpful tour guides. Upon arrival we could choose between short, long or extended hike. We chose the long hike of about 11-12 km. It was a long day, but it was marvelous and you didn't really feel that the kilometers passed by. The hike is a round (so you see new things along the entire hike), and you go a lot on quite flat or not very steep terrain, except for a few parts (in total maybe 25 minutes all over), which were necessary to reach the nicest parts of the waterfalls. Despite 11 km sounding long, it was completely fine, and we just adjusted the pace according to how tired we were, how hot the weather was etc. There are people selling water and fruit along the way, so it's also not necessary to pack tons of water for example. I have been many places in the world and on many hikes, and this was definitely one of the most amazing hikes I have done. People you meet on the way are also incredibly nice and welcoming, so there is not much to complain about (maybe just the hassle of getting there from Mbale, but my recommendation is to find a private car that would cost you between 70k-100k and avoid the eternal negotiations for a seat in a matatu (public taxi) that is usually very unsafe as well). 10/10 for views, very good communication, really nice tour guides and all over it was an amazingly spent day!

3 falls hike - amazing! - Great communication from William from the get go. We had a short hike (3.5hr) to see all 3 falls - William was flexible to meet our timings, kept a good pace and overall the falls are incredible. Williams trusted assistant - Puppy - is also super cute!

Fantastic experience! - We opted for the long Sippi falls walk. What a wonderful experience that was! We were accompanied by William and his dog Poppy (what a sweetheart he was). Top experience and adventure. William is knowledgeable and knows a lot about the area, the waterfalls, nature and is a helping hand if you need him. Some parts are a bit challenging, but doable, especially if you get a helping hand every now and then. The walk first goes down into the valley through a tropical environment to the bottom of the first waterfall of 100 meters, a real sight! Then you go back up the valley and continue to the 2 other waterfalls. Water all are beautiful and at the 2nd you can stand behind them. The second part of the walk goes through local gardens with potatoes, bananas, beans, cabbage and coffee plants. You can ask William all your questions about the different plants and in the meantime he will also spot 4 beautiful cameleons! Great experience, an adventure and not to be missed if you come to Sippi. Count on a 6-hour walk with breaks, but it is doable if you are reasonably fit. There is a shorter walk that does not go into the valley, but you also see all 3 waterfalls. Only the 1st waterfall from above and not from below. I recommend the long walk, the waterfall at the bottom is breathtaking

Great adventure. - It was a great experience, the view was amazing, adventurous and calming. Went rock climbing and abseiling. It's scary at first but later became enjoyable.

The scenery was stunning, and Ian is such a good humoured and knowledgeable guide, pointing out different flora and fauna and sharing insights along the way - and also a great sport for taking fun photos. I heartily recommend the tour.

Brilliant experience with Discover Sipi - We recently visited Sipi through Discover Sipi and had an incredible time. We took part in the hike, sunset walk, and coffee tour. Our guide Simon was friendly and had vast knowledge of the area and local culture, which he shared with us. We stayed at Lacam Lodge which was unique and beautiful. William the owner was lovely; quick and great at communicating. I'd highly recommend Discover Sipi if you are thinking of visiting this stunning part of Uganda.
