Beginners should ask about guided instruction.
Where This Fits in a Uganda Itinerary
Mount Elgon National Park in eastern Uganda is an ancient, eroded volcano with waterfalls, caves and cliffs. Nearby Sipi Falls makes it a popular stop between Jinja and Kidepo or Murchison.
Add it to a Sipi Falls stay if you want something more adventurous than waterfall hikes. Whatever you choose, build days around travel time: driving distances between the parks are long, and early starts are normal on a Uganda safari. If you are comparing destinations, start with Uganda's national parks and our Uganda safaris and tours.
