Remember those epic tales of adventure you read as a kid? Well, buckle up buttercups, because Kitara Foundation, along with Mulima Mountain Adventures, just lived one for the books! And this time, we brought a German secret weapon, Danielle Finch from Equera, along for the ride. Move over, Rwenzori – Sebei’s natural wonders are calling!

Our grand quest led us to the mystical lands of Kapchorwa, where nature conspires with culture to create pure magic. We shacked up at “Home of Friends” at the foothills of Mount Elgon, a place so chill, it practically lulled us into a pre-adventure zen.

Sipi, Here We Come!

The Mulima Mountain Adventures crew greeted us with open arms and probably a knowing smirk, fully aware of the awesomeness that awaited. As the sun painted the Sebei hills with its golden glow, we found ourselves deep in the Sipi valley, ready to rumble.

“Hey, you are most welcome to Sipi!” boomed Job, our lead instructor from Mulima Mountain Adventures. His enthusiasm was so infectious, we almost forgot we were about to embark on a hike that would challenge our very will to live (just kidding… mostly!). Job was our fearless leader, guiding us through the Sipi circuit hike – a journey so memorable, it’s now permanently etched into our “things we almost died doing but totally loved” hall of fame.

Behold, the Mighty Sipi Falls!

And then, there it was – the main waterfall. A majestic curtain of water plunging into the abyss. Our eyes widened, our jaws dropped, and our inner adrenaline junkies started doing a happy dance. Young, energetic men in uniform, gears gleaming, lined up like a welcoming committee for the brave. The briefing began, and suddenly, the words “abseiling” and “95 meters high” echoed through the valley. 95 meters! That’s like dropping from a 30-story building, but with more water and significantly more screaming (of joy, of course!).

Now, let me tell you, I’ve seen abseiling. On TV. In movies. But I never, in my wildest dreams, thought I’d be dangling in the sky, alongside a roaring waterfall. It was breathtaking, adrenaline-pumping, and a little bit insane! Had it not been for the Mulima team’s expert briefing and training, I probably would have just stood there, hyperventilating. But they prepped us so well, even my shaky knees felt confident!

Danielle and I, side-by-side, took the plunge together. It was like a synchronized, vertical water ballet, only way more exhilarating. Sharing that moment of suspended disbelief, laughing nervously, and cheering each other on made it even more fun and boosted our confidence through the roof! The water mist kissed our faces, the roar of the falls filled our ears, and for those precious moments, we were truly one with nature (and defying gravity). It was a feeling of pure exhilaration, a rush that made every fiber of our being hum with life.

When we talk about an unforgettable adventure in the Sebei region, the name Mr. Job of Mulima Mountain Adventure immediately comes to mind. He’s not just a guide; he’s a captivating storyteller and a master of the mountains.

Job’s expertise shines through in his deep knowledge of both nature and local culture. He doesn’t just point out landmarks; he brings the Kalenjin and Sabiny traditions to life with fascinating insights, giving you a genuine connection to the people and heritage of the region.

But it’s when you’re facing the exhilarating challenge of abseiling on Sipi Falls that Job truly transforms the experience. He seamlessly shifts from a reassuring trainer to a clear-headed instructor and an inspiring commander. His guidance makes every ascent feel epic, turning a thrilling activity into a truly legendary memory. With Mr. Job, your journey through Sebei is more than just a trip; it’s an adventure redefined.

Running with Champions in Sebei!

But the adventure didn’t stop there! After conquering the falls, we decided to flex our muscles in a different way. We headed to the Kiprotich Sports Stadium in Teryet, ready to run with champions! Because, you see, Sebei isn’t just home to stunning waterfalls; it’s the powerhouse of athletic greatness! This is where gold and silver medal winners are born and bred, where the air hums with the energy of future Olympians. We might not have kept up with them (they run like gazelles!), but just being in the stadium was inspiring.

Our epic day concluded with a much-deserved feast at a local restaurant in Kapchorwa Town. We devoured delicious Ugandan cuisine, recounting our thrilling escapades and planning our next great adventure (after we recovered from this one, of course!).
