The spacious bandas, constructed with bamboo and raw wood, each have a full wall of windows facing the valley and falls, as well as a small porch with seats to take in the day’s fresh air. Showers in the bandas have clever screened windows at eye level, allowing the bather to avoid missing a minute of the excellent view. The water is heated and its temperature regulated to a precise level all day, resulting in some of the best showers I have ever taken. Each bed is also extremely comfortable, providing a superb night’s rest. There is no electricity at Lacam, which turned out to be an excellent surprise. The rumble of generators did not spoil the ambient sounds created by the waterfall and songbirdsClick here for more information about birding vacation in Uganda,the sound of my mobile phone didn’t remind me of any waiting obligations! Besides, the lodge is well lit by lanterns as well as a warm, blazing fire during the night. In addition, Lacam’s chef is truly a master of his art. Each meal, whether eaten on the wide deck in the sun or under the restaurant’s roof, was a culinary treat. Much of the food served is local, including mouth-watering guacamole and spinach.

They took excellent care of my friend and I, from guiding us through the falls walk to helping us fix our mischievous car. On top of that, they have a deep understanding of Sipi and its local culture: many of them are Sabiny, the tribe inhabiting the area.

It is this coffee, of course, that is roasted, ground and served at Lacam. As someone who truly loves and understands this famous bean, I must say that Lacam’s coffee is the freshest, smoothest coffee I have ever had. I absolutely love this 2-hour walk. It takes the hiker through small farms, past coffee and banana trees, meeting friendly and amused villagers along the way. The pool at the bottom of the falls is like something from a science fiction movie. It is misty, flowered and mossy, and cool air from the water blows refreshingly up to the path. It must be noted that the hike is quite thorough exercise, but it can be done by nearly anyone. I did it with a broken toe; children and grandmothers do it a few times daily with huge bunches of matooke and firewood on their heads! Forest walks provide a chance to view more than 350 different species of birds, the grey monkey and a spectacular bamboo forest.

I had my first abseiling experience beside the falls, from about 100 metres into the air. Although the first step or two was terrifying, the rush of abseiling, essentially swinging down through the view of the falls, forest and cliffs, was something I would like to repeat again very soon!Do you like adventure?,don't miss Uganda's favourite bungee jumping on the source of River Nile The experience was improved by watching Lacam’s manager, Timothy, and our guide, Martin, swing down for their first times as well! The most difficult climb, C&C Muscle Factory, includes climbing across a large overhang. Don’t worry, lessons are available for anyone who wants to try, the ropes are strong and your safety is assured! I heartily recommend taking advantage of some, if not all, of Sipi’s fantastic activities. Spend a few days there, enjoying the day’s warmth and the cool nights, adventuring in the morning and relaxing during the evenings. Lacam wraps all of these possibilities into one exciting package, with its staff thoughtfully helping you choose how to best enjoy the lodge and beautiful Sipi Falls. They have held on to their traditions, fighting to keep the Bagisu out of their territory and maintaining strong ties to the land and their livestock. The drive to Sipi provides an excellent slice of culture: traditional mud homes painted with geometric patterns, cattle eating from well-designed troughs and small farms pepper the road. Boys aged 16 to 24 are considered the proper age, and won’t be thought of as full men until their ceremony is complete. Men are very proud of their circumcision. Visitors are more than welcome to observe the ceremonies, which involve singing, dancing and public displays of bravery by the young men.
