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. ❤️

Breathing - Breathing! Never expected this amazing hiking experience. We did two waterfalls with William and the view point at the end. He gave us so much information about everything and I very experienced and knowledgeable. Thanks

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

Wonderful! - Kind, prepared and punctual guide. He adapted the itinerary to our needs. He also helped us find a mechanic due to our car breaking down. Spectacular place!

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.
