Had quite low expectations before I visited the park! But how it exceed my expectations! Went on a birding trail (6 hours - about 4-5 kms) through the secondary forest and then on to the Primary rain forest. The UWA exploration centre provided 2 (two!) guides - Joel and Simon. Joel was the birding expert and Simon was the botany expert! Had a such a lovely time walking through the pristine forest on natural trails and on squeaky structures (on difficult spots of the trail). Birding was excellent (given the low visibility in forests) and learnt so much from Joel & Simon! We spotted around 34 bird species! The Kapkwai Cave and then the Chebonet Falls (destination) were both wonderful!! The cool waters of the fall made a wonderful mid point of our journey! The ending was rewarding with a grateful lunch and wonderful sights of the Narina Trogon in the Exploration centre campus! How I wish I had decided to stay here in the Exploration centre accommodation - instead of staying in Mbale. The Park also has multi day trekking options - right upto to Mt Elgon crossing the caldera. Next time I am here - I am definitely going on the long trail. Sure to enjoy it - looking forward to it! How I would have loved to stay here! The Exploration centre has some very nice lodges (bandas) for visitors as well!

The mighty Lake Victoria was thought for a long time to be the source of the Nile. It is in a sense. Waters from the large lake leave by the Victoria Nile to head north to join the Albert Nile in northern Uganda. When the water leaves the massive Lake Victoria, it does so in a spectacular fashion. The water pours out of the lake at the Ripon Falls, also known as Owen Falls Dam, in Uganda. It then goes by the Victoria Nile to Lake Kyoga before joining the Albert Nile. The lake itself is shared by three countries: Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. The headwaters for the streams that feed the lake, however, originate from the mountains of Rwanda and Burundi. its a spectacular breathtaking view.

Sharif the tour guide was amazing. He knew the history of the falls, did the bookings for us for transportation and accommodation. He's friendly and gave us a worth while tour of the caves and history of the falls. Been there many times but Shariff being a native of the place made us feel welcome, loved and enjoyed the experience. To enjoy like we did, reach out to Shariff 0703584617

its so breathe taking to get closer on the water as it has a powerful sound and steam especially in the morning but one has to be careful with the slippery rocks during rainy season as you easily slide away. i loved the rafting on the falls,took great pictures with a help from Robert and Trevor of Bunya Adventures. The road is dusty and its around minutes drive. The locals were very friendly too when we needed directions
