Chasing Waterfalls

For my last weekend in Africa, I went to Sipi Falls in Uganda. It's a series of three waterfalls (100m, 55m, 75m) at the edge of Mt. Elgon on the border of Kenya and Uganda.

Stayed at the idyllic Sipi River Lodge, which is situated by fall #2

This is the view from our cottage -- fall #2

Hiked up to fall #2 -- the vantage point is from a cave behind the waterfall

We had a local boy lead us up to fall #3. There were some crazy rainbows at the falls!

At the top of fall #3

The Bugisu (local tribe) grow some of the best coffee in the world. These are some freshly picked coffee beans.

The Bugisu get together in communal huts in their villages to drink maize beer (fermented maize and yeast). We partook but not with the long straws you see here -- they gave us a cup :)
