Find the Right Accommodation in Sipi Falls — Without the Guesswork

Sipi Falls offers some of the most scenic and atmospheric accommodation options in eastern Uganda — from cliffside lodges overlooking the waterfalls to cozy guesthouses, eco-camps, and homestays close to local communities.

However, choosing the right place to stay can be challenging. Prices, comfort levels, locations, and views vary significantly — and not every lodge suits every traveler.

That’s where we come in.
