Sipi Falls Redux
In September we had spent two nights at Sipi Falls, on the side of Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda. We enjoyed it so much that we returned with Michelle and Andrea. It is a beautiful spot. At one point Michelle told the guide that it looked like the beginning of the world. He smiled and said that many people say that. Local people say the God spent much time and took great care in his creation in this beautiful spot—then rested a bit and took it a little easier when creating the plains.
There are three falls associated with the name Sipi Falls. The first can be seen from the grounds of the lodge where we were staying. We hiked to the upper two falls—lovely. In the afternoon we also visited a nearby naturally-formed cave. It now contains many bats which we could hear but which would not remain still for photos!
