You have the opportunity for brief stops in some of the small villages and trading centers for a chance to meet the people living in the area. For Adrenaline lovers, after breakfast you will go for white water rafting this is our most popular adventure activity in Jinja and for good reason. With eight major rapids, including two grade 5 rapids, this is easily one of the most fun stretches of river that you’ll ever raft. Why? Because of its profile and its high volume, The Nile is a safe river to raft on and this means our guides can accommodate everyone's wishes, from those wanting to go as hard as possible, to those wanting to avoid swimming. Have a barbeque at the Nile before returning to your lodge.

5Hiking, Nature walk, coffee tour.
The hike to the Falls starts from behind Sipi River Lodge. You’ll pass through a clearing and cross a small stream before you get an early sighting of the falls. But don’t stop there — instead, follow the path after the footbridge to climb up to the falls. The path starts tame, then gets steeper with a set of stairs, then turns into a sloppy, muddy, slippery mess as you finish the climb to the top of the waterfall. Wear good hiking boots and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you come to the cave behind the waterfall. The reward is a gorgeous view of the Mount Elgon Region. Continue up the trail to reach the Upper Falls. It flattens out considerably and becomes less treacherous. You’ll reach the waterfall after 15-20 minutes. This waterfall is the least impressive of the three — it’s less of a cascade, more like a river tumbling down over some rocks. It’s still a very pretty spot and you can wade into the water to cool off.
