Day 1: Kampala/Entebbe to Sipi Falls – The Journey East

By afternoon, you'll reach the cool, crisp air of Sipi Falls. Check in at Rafiki Lodge Sipi, your cozy hillside retreat offering warm hospitality and sweeping views. Settle in, explore the lodge’s surroundings, or hike to a nearby sunset viewpoint for your first taste of Sipi’s natural beauty.
Day 2: Waterfall Hike & Coffee Immersion – Nature’s Best Blend
After breakfast, gear up for a guided hike to all three spectacular waterfalls that define the region. The trail winds through farmlands, caves, and rocky outcrops, offering unforgettable views and photo moments. In the afternoon, dive into a hands-on coffee experience with a local farming family. Learn how Sipi’s famous Arabica beans are grown, harvested, roasted, and brewed—then enjoy a freshly made cup right at the source. Return to Rafiki Lodge Sipi for a relaxing evening, bonfire storytelling, and a peaceful night under the stars.
Day 3: Goodbye Highlands – Return to Kampala or Entebbe
Enjoy a quiet breakfast as the mist lifts over the valley. Optional morning walk to a sunrise viewpoint or birdwatching around the lodge.
