Safaris and Activities to do on your 3 Day 2 Night Mountain  Elgon Safari Tour 

1.  Hiking Mount Elgon

Mt Elgon is generally a less strenuous climb like other East African mountains but offers some scenic views. The park is explored on foot via different routes and trailheads ranging from day walks to hikes over several days. The Sasa trail is the shortest but steepest route to the peaks taking only four days – bamboo forest and Jackson’s pool. The Sipi trail takes four to six days and starts at the forest exploration center at Kapkwai – tutum cave. The Piswa trail is a seven-day round trip starting at a village off Kapkwata – podocarps forest. One can alternatively combine the different trails, ascending by the Sipi trail and descending along the Sasa trail allowing you to experience more features of the mountain.

There are local porters available to make your hike easier each carrying supplies in addition to collecting water, cooking, and preparing the camp. Hikers should consider the symptoms and treatment of hypothermia and other forms of altitude sickness. Above 2500m, altitude sickness can affect anyone regardless of age, fitness, or previous mountain hiking experience. The most effective treatment is the descent to a lower altitude.

2. Abseiling at Mount Elgon

This thrilling activity is done down one of the cliffs of the Sipi Falls. You drop down 100m overlooking the ridge next to a pool of water from one of the Sipiwater falls. Enjoy watching the different scenery as you abseil down the rock, on reaching down you can take a dip in the pool before ascending back up the cliff to the top of the hill.

3. Rock Climbing at Mount Elgon

Another engaging activity outside Mt Elgon National Park is rock climbing. This takes place at Sipiwater Falls with 14 climbs that require rock-scaling techniques. The toughest climb is 35m while the easiest is 15m – for anyone interested in rock climbing, then you want to try this.

4. Bird watching in Mt Elgon National Park

Birding in Mt Elgon National Park will give you species that you cannot find anywhere else. The common trail is one in the Kapkwai forest exploration center, which continues along the Chebonet River. Here you are likely to see the White-chinned Prinia, Luhders and Doherty’s Bush-shrikes, Chubb’s Cisticola, African Goshawk, African Blue Flycatcher, and Baglafetcht weaver.

5. Sportfishing at Mount Elgon

At the highest of the Sipiwater  Falls, there is an opportunity for sport fishing which will keep you busy as some of the locals join you. It provides a good challenge to anyone interested in the rainbow trout. Remember to bring your equipment and obtain a permit from the Sipi River Lodge.

6. Nature and Hiking walks at Mount Elgon

There are numerous trails both inside the park and outside walking through Mt Elgon vegetation. At Sipiwater Falls guides from the community take you on walks that can start from two hours to a whole day's walk where you will have views of the Karamajong region and Sebei region.

7. Water Falls at Mount Elgon

Among these are three beautiful falls together known as the Sipi Falls. These are outside the park and a hike to all three is a fulfilling experience.

9. Caves at Mount Elgon

Like most mountains, Mt Elgon slopes have caves, which were left by moving lava when the mountain was formed many years ago. The most accessible are Kapkwai Cave and Khauka Cave on Wanale Ridge. Hikers used the caves as shelter and currently, they act as locations for camps.

10. Agro-tourism, Cultural encounters, and Community trails at Mount Elgon
