Mist & Wilderness: 3 Days at Sipi Falls and Pian Upe Game Reserve
Escape the ordinary and explore Uganda’s eastern frontier, where lush highland waterfalls meet raw, untouched wilderness. This 3-day adventure takes you to Sipi Falls—a stunning trio of waterfalls nestled on the slopes of Mount Elgon—and then deeper into the wild heart of Pian Upe Game Reserve, one of Uganda’s most remote and underrated safari destinations.

Your journey begins in Sipi, where you’ll hike through coffee fields, banana plantations, and scenic cliffs to reach each waterfall. Along the way, you'll meet local guides, learn about the culture of the Sabiny people, and, if you're up for it, even try abseiling down a waterfall for the ultimate adrenaline rush.

Then it’s off to Pian Upe, a vast savannah reserve rarely visited by crowds but teeming with beauty and biodiversity. Expect encounters with zebras, elands, ostriches, and—if you're lucky—cheetahs prowling the golden plains. Sunset drives here are a dream, with fiery skies and silhouettes of wildlife.
