Sipi Falls is a series of three waterfalls located on the north-western slopes of the eponymous extinct volcano, Mount Elgon, in Uganda,[1] with views over the Karamoja plains.[2][3][4] The falls are situated to the northeast of Sironko and Mbale,[5] adjacent to Mount Elgon National Park, which is located 1.7 kilometers (1 mile) away from the Kenyan border.[6] The falls account for 10% to 20% of all tourist visits to Uganda every year.[7]
At its highest point, the largest of the three waterfalls, known as Sipi Falls, stands at 95 meters (312 feet) high. The middle waterfall – known as Simba Falls, lies further upstream to the east. This waterfall has a drop of 74 m (243 ft). Further uphill is the third waterfall, known as Ngasire Falls, with a drop of approximately 85 m (262 ft).[8]
